Just got my Cannondale steed back from a new LBS (I'm moving north of the river...Thames).
Really nice chaps and and soon as I rode off back down south I noticed that the bike felt heaps better.
However, when applying the front brake it made the most godawful noise - not a squeaking sound, a loud, loud shrieking.
I tested the back and it was similar but not as bad.
Thought I'd let it warm up a few mile and keep applying pressure on quiet roads.
Back brake is now ok but front is just horrible. Rang the guys and they said they apply something to them that may be the problem but that it should go away, if not then take it back to them.
The noise only happens when pad hits the rim though which makes me think it isn't due to some degreaser etc.
Any ideas? Brake pad positioned incorrectly perhaps? The left from does seem a bit low...
