your pressure depends on how you like it, i run just under 10psi on mine, which is pretty low, but it helps with my balance on the back wheel. and yess mate, brake squeel is normally a sign of life. if you have got wd40 on your rims, i would take off your wheel and tyre, and wipe it down with some white spirit, but make sure you rub the white spirit on, and then off with another rag. hope i helped (Y)

to be fair your mates one has bad v-brakes that doesnt help.

but its ok to learn on.

and from reading this every one runs realy low tire pressure compaired to me

i normally have about 40 in the front and between 30-40 in the rear, but im a bit fat so thats why

14 stone of pure man

Have you tried as previous reply's said? Using white spirt to clean the rim rubbing it hard into the rim and wipeing off with a clean cloth/rag? You could always do this with your pads to.

What i usually do with my pads on my maggie when they go a bit crap and start slipping is take them off and sand (horizontal) the debris (black stuff) off with a bit of sand paper untill I get a new layer of pad. Then go the other way (vertical) to rough the pad up a little.

After that grips like a dream!

Good Luck (Y)
