Consider them toed. The literature on the subject that I found initially suggested using a rubber band to get the alignment right; it probably worked, but I removed the rubber band before squeezing the lever, so they ended up flat and, thus, squeaky as hell.

This time, I had them both rubberbanded and aligned before seating them, and it worked perfectly. Despite my best efforts, I could not get them to squeak _once_, regardless of how many hills I went down.

Of course, the real test will be going down <a href="http://skunko.damnsw.net/photos/16th.jpg">16th Street</a> after class on Monday.
