Topsy Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I used to have the same problem without a grind. (With it always squeeks, still louder when riding backwards though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your pads are not set up square 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Do you grind from right to left when you turn wheel over? If so the grind will be opposite ways on the rim. Check the pads are square as suggested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the pads are square as suggested yes i do. i think i might do it differently next time. i squared my pads earlier and its a bit better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
