Default Thumbs up for Lyndall........

Just a mention for Lyndalls customer service. I put Lyndalls on my 06 and the rear pads have a slight squeal even after 1000 miles. I called them to see if they had a fix & left a message about 10 days ago. I got a call from Paul today & he explained that his dad is ailing & thats way it took so long. It wasn't a problem for me anyway but he told how to adjust the brake to kill the squeal. And then he took my address so he could send out a new set in case it doesn't work. Can't beat that for service! And I wish his dad well. Thanks.

I run the Lyndall Z+ pads on my bike and have to say they are the best brake pads I have used. Glad you had a good response from them with your problem.

There are a lot of companies that could learn from Lyndall on how to treat their customers. They are truly a great company to deal with.

I also had a very good experience when buying my Z+ pads. I also get a squeal in the rear. I just removed the caliper and cleaned. Squeal gone now...hopefully for good.

I've been running the Lyndall Z+ pads on my Deluxe for 4 years now. Excellent performance and they help to keep my white walls looking their best with the low brake dust residue.

Great customer service. Overpriced pads that aren't any better than stock and squeal like crazy.

So what did he tell you to do to get rid of the squeal?

There are instructions on the web site. Take off the caliper & remove the pads. Confirm that the pistons are all moving at together. If the pads were put on without removing the caliper the pistons may not be at the same position. Clean all with brake clean & reassmble. Now keep your fingers crossed.

Maybe that's why they sent a new set! Frankly they work well but I don't see the huge difference that some have reported here. As far as brake dust, about the same as my stock pads. Maybe I don't use my brakes enough

Guess I'll have to give them a call too, my rear pads squeal a lot... Basically did all the cleaning while I had the wheel off, very annoying!
