Pretty standard for the pads that are designed not to fade out on you under prolonged, heavy use. Sound is not a factor for race-performance gear.
You probably also found their performance pretty crap when they were cold. Performance pads on cars have similar characteristics.

It did help some for a few days and then went back to squealing. I just put up with after a while. When I finally switched over to SRAM I didn't get any more squealing.
- sliken 9y agoThere's a reason why $8-$10k bikes switched from the boutique brake brands to almost entirely SRAM or Shimano.
- at-fates-hands 9y agoYeah its crazy how far SRAM has come. I remember all the guys in our shop thought SRAM was a joke, who could compete with Shimano, right? The rep all gave us full S9 (which I think now are the X line) setups and said, "Test it out, run into the ground. I'll be back in two months and see what you think." Two months later, most of the shop was riding SRAM.
