squeeaaeeeeling brakes

[albal]

on my hack which has new blocks and wheel, why do the blocks squeel ? very loud at that(no need for a bell)

You need to toe then in see here...

toeing is indeed needed

What's said.......above.... front of blocks to touch first.

If not sure - slap a lolly pop stick in at the rear edge of the block/rim when adjusting....

TBH..... I give up with the wife's bike - she's not even worn off the annodising in 15 plus years...she rides it that little....

If they're squealing then at least they're working! (as a rule)

Squealing brakes are a weight saving measure so you dont need to install a bell to warn errant pedestrians of your approach.
