So resetting the pads with a toe in didn't help? I've been lucky and never had a noise problem, yet. I went shopping at Pork Chops BMX last Monday since they were having a once in their lifetime sale, 20% off. I bought 6 pair of the Salmon 6 bump Weinmann replacements and have never before had Kool Stops. Hope I don't have any noise issues.
I've got to play around with them some more, but the initial result was just a change in pitch, from shriller to hoarser. I can't tell if it's the rim that's vibrating or the calipers or both but something's really singing, to the point I was worried that something would vibrate loose. I got sidetracked on a different project the last few days but I'll try some more adjustments this evening.
