Brake pads

Thanks, I'll try some teflon tape on the posts. I've ordered some Eagle Claw pads in both black and salmon, so if that doesn't work I'll just sell the bike.

Like a lot of people, I've tried every pair I could get over the years. Kool Stop Tectonics worked the best, and were the easiest to set up (They arent noisy even if you run them without toe in). The only reason I don't use them anymore is because cartridge style pads make me nervous. Since the pads are held in with just a cotter pin, I'm worried the pads will slide out of the holder if you use your brakes during a fakie trick or fufanu. If you never do fakie stuff, then this isn't an issue.

Other than that, I would suggest any salmon colored pad from Kool Stop. Supra's always worked well http://www.koolstop.com/english/supra2.html
At the moment I am running clear Elcats on one bike, and black odyssey's on another.
