Brake pads for Origin 8 rims

[Aggdaddy]

I just bought some origin 8 deep v rims for my fixie and they are really nice, but every time I brake, even a little brake, I get a loud squeal.

Part of the reason I like my fixie is because I feel like a ninja. I sneak up on people so quick its funny.

Can anyone recommend some brake pads that'll help me keep running silent?

They worked fine and quiet with the stock rims. I don't have any names of the parts, but I can post pics if needed.

Clean the rims with alcohol and scuff the pads. See how that works out.



Oh, its not cool to just sneak up on people.

proper adjustment?

I thought those wheels didn't have a CNC machined braking surface. If they don't have the braking surface then are you braking on the physical rim?

Not sure what you mean. I removed previous stock rim that my third set of brake pads worked nice and quiet.

Installed origin 8 rims. After about 10 taps of the brake, I started to get really loud brake squeals every time I hit the brakes.

They are so loud, I try not to use them as much as possible.

I am guessing it has something to do with the painted surface on the origin 8 rims and my stock rims are unpainted aluminum?

That's why I was wondering if there brake pads specifically for origin 8 rims.

That's exactly what I'm saying. Read this.
