I'm not sure you'll sort it totally but if you 'toe in' your blocks (I.e have the toe touching the rim first) it will be a lot better.

Going back to my Koolstops - means I can ride round town without everyone within a 10mile radius knowing I'm riding

Don't know if its the combo of pads and rims which is doing it. The pads I've got a different to yours Tony.

I might put them on when I'm at a Skatepark like Corby or Creation but when I'm going to my local I'm gonna keep the koolstops on as the clears are so frigging loud.

mine squeal like fokk too Barnaby, but it's the arms of the brake vibrating on the lugs that's making most of the noise. not the blocks on the rim, will get round to whacking some grease on the pugs to see if that helps.

Someone was telling me that Hombre's squeal like buggers - might upgrade brakes when I can afford it.

Mine are much quieter than when I first fitted them, and they still havent rubbed the anno off the rim which I like.
Not the best for manuals though too sharp for feathering the brake.

Hombres are fine. Not really known for squealing particularly. Give your blocks a sanding with some very coarse paper, copper grease the AD lugs and toe the blocks in a good amount. Thats about all you can do really.
