Can anyone please tell me if cantilever pad toe in means toed in towards the front of the bike, or toed in towards the direction the wheel is travelling? I am trying to fix some squealing cantilever brakes on a friends bike, and I can't remember which way the pads should be aligned.
Which way do your toes point when you're on the bike? Now turn them inwards, i.e. heel out. That's toe in. On a brake pad, that actually means that the trailing edge of the pad hits the rim first, because the brake is travelling backwards relative to the rim, so I can see how it might be confusing
