Swiss Stop Brake Squeal
Comments

Are they angled in/out incorrectly? The edge of the pad towards the front of the bike should touch the rim first.

Yea all toed in correctly.
Strange thing is Saturday ride no squeal Sunday it appears.0 -
On my old bike (with cheap callipers) the callipers bent slightly over time so you couldn't get the toe right. I'm out of ideas if that's not it though.2010 Trek 1.5 Road - swissstop green, conti GP4000S

I am to!
Wonder if is just the pads and once they bed in more it'll go.
As I say full on braking I don't get the squeal seems to be just at the biting point.0 -
I know this isn't much help - but when they wear down a bit - the squeal stops.
You could try taking a bit of sandpaper to them to rough them up.
I've had this problem before and it always clears itself up quickly through wear.0 -
I had Rival brakes with swisstop pads and found that they stopped sqealing with the pads level with the rim, i.e. not toed in.
I know this sounds bonkers to some, but the brakes/pads stopped very, very well with no noise!0
