Default Lyndall brake pads squeaking when rolling to a stop

This has happened on two different bikes that I used these pads. Tried them the first time about five years ago. Then went back to Chinese. Figured I'd step up with all the rage and give it a shot.

Any ideas?

I have the Lyndall Red pads and mine make a horrible squeaking noise. It's embarrassing.

I do know if you're rear wheel is not true neither will the rotor be true which will cause squeeling chafing etc...,

The back doesn't squeal, only the front. Many miles later still squealing. Called Lyndall, and they did offer to replace them. I'll give that a shot.

Is your caliper releasing all the way?

Yea calipers are working great. I rebuilt them at the same time I've done pads.

Dan talked to the Indy shop guy yesterday and mentioned the squeaking front pads on my bike. The guy said they'd probably have to be replaced with a different brand. (I've had them on for less than a year). Dan said "If I tell her that she has to buy new pads her head is going to explode".

I had this problem on the front of my Street Glide and when I changed the front wheel I put some disc brake quiet on the back of the pads and it's all Quiet now.
