MildlyWild Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 My front ones squeal like a stuck pig - bad enough to not want to use them. Used disc cleaner on the rotors and pads and sanded the pads - no luck - probably got contaminated too badly. Which pads out there are good, and good value for money? I've got XT brakes.
splat Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 I have got 2 sets of pads for the M775 (2008 XT) brakes. R380.00 for 2 pairs.

splat Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 What do they look like?The M775's look like this:(and my pads wont fit your brakes)(sorry this isnt helping your problem)
MildlyWild Posted March 26, 2009 Author Posted March 26, 2009 Nope, mine's different.Which other pads would you recommend?
splat Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Not too sure, but have you checked things like all the bolts are properly tight. I had bad a vibration (not squeel) on a hardtail that turned out to be play in the hub. Spacers in the bolts connecting the caliper to the frame could induce a vibration. A squeel might be dust behind the pads? Not too sure - often difficult to fix.
