Here we go again... Squeaking Shimano brakes.
I have a Giant trance X1 2012 I need to know what type of SLX brake pads they come with as standard?
Brakes are m 666 - what pads do they have resin or metal? and can i/should I replace with the finned ones?
Whats the difference and if Im replacing to get rid of the squeal what should I get.
I have tried cleaning and rotors etc so swapping pads is next on the list.

Weird thing is... when Im riding and braking hard ( eg off road) little to no squeal. In the car park or street riding they squeal like a scalded cat??
