I have a green QB and the Tektro 720's are at the top of my list.

 Mine is just another unhelpful data point. I have a green Quickbeam, Tektro 
 720 brakes with salmon Kool Stop pads. This setup is quiet and effective. 
 Toe-in setup included a dime between the rim  back of the pads.

The fork crown mounted cable stop will interfere with my fork crown mounted 
generator light.  It does look like an interesting option.

 The front brake squeals? Have you tried the fork crown mounted cable stop? It 
 cured my hunqapillar. Do that first.

That works out. You have light AND an audible warning signal for

Paul Mini-Motos. Perfect brake for my Simple1. Great stopping power, regular 
cable pull, clearance for 700x45.

I have a simpleone and have experienced a good amount of squealing from the 
front brake with my Paul touring cantis. I've found that the most extreme toe 
in possible helps for a while. Also the kool stop salmon pads seem to be a 
little better than others I've tried.

[RBW] Quickbeam Squeal and Brakes

2014-05-13 Thread Larry Powers
My Quickbeam is my most used bike but I have suffered with front brake squeal 
since I bought it about 8 years ago.  The original Shimano brakes may have 
squealed the least.  I have also tried Cane Creek cantis and currently have 
Avid shorty 6's on the bike.  The current brakes may be the worst.

I spoke with Rivendell and they feel the issue is brake related and not an 
issue with the fork.

I took a look at the Quickbeams on the Cyclofiend site noticed that many had 
high profile cantis.  Has anyone cured the squeal by going to high profile 
cantis?  Any recomendations?  Paul does not recommend their high profile cantis 
for road bikes so I have been looking at Cane Creek and Velo Orange brakes.  
Any thoughts on these?  Any other options?

Thanks.
