- 1. Squeeze the brake pads against
- the rim to see if they are at the
- right height. They should not rub
- on the tire nor should they be
- able to slip under the rim.
- To prevent squeaking, the pads
- should also be "toed-in", which
- means the trailing (front) edge of
- the pads should touch the rim with
- the brake applied lightly. When
- you apply the brake hard, the pads
- squish a little and you should get
- full contact to the rim. On most
- brakes, you carefully bend the
- caliper arms to get proper toe-in.
- With cantilever brakes, set the
- toe-in by adjusting and re-
- tightening the brake pad holder.
