V brakes squeaking on front rim

tigersarethebest

Hi there

im having a slight issue with my front v brake with being noisy/Squeaking when braking. They are the replaceable cartridge type v brake pads/blocks. I’ve changed the front cable, cleaned pads, tried to toe in the pads, and cleaned the rims, all to no avail, my back brakes no noise at all so I decided to swap the pads over and the and the pad which were on the back started, squeaking.

im guessing it could be a dirty rim issue, when I did tried to clean the rim I only used soap water and a little degreaser, is they any other cleaner I could use etc

the rim is not worn as I can clearly see the wear line on the wheel

thanks

Andy
