  4. 1. Squeeze the  brake pads against
  5. the rim to see  if they are at the
  6. right height. They  should not rub
  7. on  the  tire  nor  should they be
  8. able to slip under the rim.
  9.     To prevent squeaking, the pads
  10. should  also  be  "toed-in", which
  11. means the trailing (front) edge of
  12. the pads should touch the rim with
  13. the  brake  applied  lightly. When
  14. you apply the brake hard, the pads
  15. squish a little and you should get
  16. full contact  to the rim.  On most
  17. brakes,  you  carefully  bend  the
  18. caliper arms to get proper toe-in.
  19. With  cantilever  brakes,  set the
  20. toe-in   by   adjusting   and  re-
  21. tightening the brake pad holder.
