I just picked up new pads for my year old Hayes HFX-9's. I have never experienced any noise issues in the past with the stock pads.
Last night I installed some new Hayes sintered metallic pads, cleaned the rotors with alcohol, and went for a quick ride to bed them in. I did 5 or 6 stops on pavement from about 20 mph, and each time they howled like a mother!
Will they quiet down after more stops? Should I lightly sand the pads?
try to re-adjust the calipers? Or are my rotors toast and need replacing?
