Brake squeal/ vibration
I have fairly recently fitted some Ultegra 6700 brakes onto my road bike (Btwin Triban 7). The past couple of rides they have really started to squel and vibrate. When I fitted I made sure I toe'd them in and they were fine for a few rides. I have wiped over the braking surface (wheels are Vision Team 30) and put a cloth between pad and brake surface to clean up. To no avail. Would they need re-toeing (i.e has the rubber leveled out?). It seems under gentle braking theres no noise, progress to intermediate braKing the noise comes in and then goes under heavier application. Ive not had a mess with them yet. Thought I would ask first!
Ta,
Paul
