Squealing brakes

RE: Squealing brakes
Ok first of brake noise is caused by the vibrating brake pad.
Ive got a mechanic trick for you.
Go to a shop and ask him to turn your rotor in one spot making a groove all the way around your disc, this will cause the pad to wear everywhere but the groove and this groove will keep that brake pad in one place and keep it from vibrating.
sorry *edit* so in otherwords your gonna have to wait on this one for it to wear into the groove first.

Chamfered edges.
Conceptually, I agree.
It'll keep teh pads located, and therefore less prone to wiggle (vibe). The cutting edge for rotor grinders is basically a sharp, hardened hunkka steel scrapped across a rotor face to even teh surface, troo? Dragging that into, and out of, my nice, chamfered holes and grooves CAN'T be a good thing.
'Sides, I only r - a - r - e - l - y get any sort of squeal, even with ceramic pads all the way around. I mean, it happened, but, if I let go and re-brake it generally goes away.
