Replaced some very worn rims with Mavic Open Pros - nice rim, but maybe a
bad choice to get dark grey rims that look anodised over whole exterior
including the braking surface
Under hard breaking both rims but esp the back squeal like the proverbial -
also am tending to go into the roundabout a bit deeper than I would have
liked so I suspect they are not quite as effective as other wheels I have
had (Campy Atlanta 96 - loved but all worn).
Both I and the LBS have fiddled with the toe in heaps and can get the effect
to lessen for a few days but its always back (always in the back,
occasionally in the front)
Last thing I tried was emery paper on the braking surface but that expended
elbow grease to no net benefit.
Have looked at the faq on the subject at
http://draco.acs.uci.edu/rbfaq/FAQ/8c.2.html
but while it bags anodised rims does not mention squealing/brake performance
as issues.
Anyone had this problem, and found a cure? - like the rims, hate the noise
