Any tips?   Carbon rims with Lifeline blue pads which for me and elsewhere are reported to be good although a little soft.

I found out previously before that a little "toe in" of the pads helped this but it doesn't seem to be working currently.   Rims were cleaned before installation...?

Are the pads clean with plenty of life? You could try toeing them in again. I'd expect they would wear flat to the rim eventually?

Apparently, this only ever happens with disk brakes 🙂

Haha you beat me to it scotroutes.

Apparently this is not possible

But anyway what carbon rims. Some just howl with some pads. Have you used these pads to no noise success before ?
