Wednesday, I did some cleaning on the bike (though it looks like I missed a few spots). Last night, I took an easy ride out with my son, and the rear brakes were squeaking horribly! Before clean - no squeaky. After clean - big squeaky. I tried cleaning the rims and brake pads last night, but it didn't help the squeaking. I'm looking, though, and I'm wondering if maybe it's time to replace the rear brake pads? I've got around 1400 miles on the bike - is that typical?
