sun doublewide, brakes, and squeek

hey guys,

i've got this noisey setup. i've read before that some have removed the
paint on thier sidewalls to remedy the "squeek" problem. did you sand
them down to bare metal by hand (and sandpaper) or did you just rough up
the surface? all info and suggestions always appreciated. thanks in
advance.

You might want to try to toe in the brakes it worked for me. I drove
Jagur crazy one squeeky ride he suggested that I adjust my brakes so
that the front of the pads point in.

I used one of those wire brush thingies that go on a power drill. Be
careful because it takes the paint off fast and will eat into th metal
quickly. A minor bit of abrasion on the metal doesn't seem to hurt.

I think I tried sandpaper without any luck. Took too long.

They are listed as disc only, they have no machined nor ground surfaces
for rim brakes.
