Just want to be ready for discs and pads change.
Some say the HPX pads will squeal, will "Disc Brake Squeal Free" work?
Anyone tried it before or have something else to recommend?

When I used to work on the bikes (ages ago) we rounded off the corners of new brakepads prior to installing them. This prevented vibrations which caused the squealing. It was actually recommended that we did that though the suppliers. Haven't tried it on car breaks though but I assume it's a similar principle.
Thanks Peter,
I did search on line, some also say the edge of the new pad has purpose, if you angle the pad edge, it will cause the foreign objects(sand, dust or dirty)come in between pads and disc. I do not know, no first hand experience at all, haha...

Oh, ok, could be. It was recommended by the suppliers of the pads and bikes, we followed their instructions and it worked. I have actually never seen any debris coming under the pads when the edges are rounded off slightly. I'll try it myself next time I get new pads
ive had debris get between my pads and brakes... pretty much just "CRUNNNCHYCRUNCHCRUNCH" and 0 stopping power. Was going down a hill so not that bad... oh wait.

"Forced induction" sounds like some sort of sexual assault.

I will let you know if it works after the change.

so has the squeal stopped?
Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
just changed rotors and pads last night..didn't' hear anything when testing.haven't' done a good run yet,will update later.
