Just got some new rims... but now every time I pull hard on my front brake, it emits a very loud very high pitched screeching noise as the pads rub against the rim. It sets the teeth on edge of every ped within 500m and it's only a matter of time before I shatter a nearby window. My first thought is to cover the pads and rim with plenty of grease but does anyone have a better idea? thx.
