Specialized Rockhopper Kid Carrier" v2, now with a Clydesdale fork is dead!

I just realised that I when I set the front brake up, I set the pads up like I would if it was facing the other way... Including the direction of the pads and the toe-in. Will rectify tomorrow.

So yeah, the above quote by me is incorrect. I should’ve left the brake pads as they were.

I have had heaps of trouble with the front brake shuddering and squealing. Because the brake is on the fork backwards, I set up the brake pads backwards, including the toe-in, so they were grabbing the wheel as it hit the pads (the pads were angled in at the back, not the front). I’ve been messing around with the toe-in and even tried different pads, but nothing. I even made sure my headset was tight. I just flipped the pads around so they’re in the correct way and the shuddering and squealing disappeared. I’m such a dummy. Just because the brake is backwards, the wheel still rotates the same way. It was doing my head in. I’ve set up v-brakes and canti’s on so many bikes and I could not figure out what was going on.
