Works good yes as far to say they do stop the mass but so loud. Why must they squeal in the dry and worse in the wet. I have removed them and heated them on the fire to burn off oil and grime but this only helped of about 5km.

Any ideas to stop the squeal?

Have you tried a bit of grease on the BACK of the pad. Sometimes the squeal is the pad to piston area.

#7 and 8 They only fit one way per there shape and attach by magnet so they move back out when the pistons do. Could try the grease on back or maybe a file to the edge of the pads?

CRC make a disc brake anti squeal that can be sprayed on the back ov the pads, and the shims before they go in

My Triumph 2000's front brakes' new pads squealed - there was no space left to fit the anti-squeal shims. Finally got around to fitting the shims when the pads wore down a little and my garage expert suggested adding a little copper grease to both sides of the shims. Result: silent brakes again!

Did you put the shims in the correct way round after you had them out ?

http://www.bauerbikes.co.nz/mountain-bikes/bravo I would do the following. 1) clean up the disk First with brakeclean. 2) clean the pads with brakeclean then sand the face of the pads on a completely flat surface. 3)sand the leading edge of the pads at a 45 degree angle to take away the sharp leading edge.- That should help heaps
