Odyssey 1x4 Pads are pretty good

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

yeah there are loads that dont squeak, only draw back is they dont work!!!!!

Just kidding! Try toeing them in a bit, and checking every thing is aligned properly, sometimes the q
squeacking is actually vibrations caused by the pad moving back and forth on the rim

One of my brake arms has a crack in it where the bloke bolts on which does flex, do you think it could be that?
