Squeaky rim brakes?

Nazca · 6 Jul 2015 at 12:11

My rear rim brakes have suddenly started squealing really loudly, on the road, coming to a stop.

I've cleaned the rim and brake pads and it still makes a racket.

I've taken it to a LBS. Cannot replicate the squeal inside it seems.

It's not a constant squeal - every time I brake the squeak comes and goes.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Sorry for my ignorance, but how does one do this?

Didn't solve the problem

Colleague suggested the wheel may not be "trued". The bike is 2 weeks old, is it unusual for the wheels not to be aligned at such an early stage?

It could be that but i doubt it, after two weeks the wheels could be out but that would be if youve abused them, can be wrecked in a day if youre not careful.

Do you have cheapo pads on the bike?

I've got Shimano 105 callipers. Not sure about the pads. I assume they came with the group set
