you need to toe the shoes in.
have a read of the info on parktools."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

try toeing the pads in, a penny at the rear of each pad when tightening usually stops it.
If that doesn't work, put some decent pads on.0 -
cheers nice one will try that out tomorrow0
