That's a fairly common issue with carbon wheels. First try cleaning the brake surface and the pads with alcohol. Then angle the pads so that the front of the pad is about the width of a dime closer than the rear

Should solve the problem.

Along with the suggestions others have made I'll make the following suggestion. This typically occurs due to some type of dirt or debris on your brake tracks or brake pads. It's pretty easy to get either of the above dirty while installing your tires/wheels. I'd recommend cleaning both the brake tracks and the brake pads with Acetone. You can get it at your local hardware store. Just make sure you use the product in a well ventilated area.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Heads up, those tririg calipers hate acetone.
Just be careful with where the rag touches or you'll end up with the paint blistering and peeling.

Thanks for pointing that out.

An additional "heads up" about the Omega and Omega X calipers...they don't have an allowance in the pad holder mounts for "toe-in" adjustment of the pads.

I've done it in the past on an Omega using small shims behind the pad holder though...so it's not impossible.

Have you seen any calipers that have toe-in ? My Dura Ace calipers do not have toe-in either.

It's typically handled at the pad holder interface (spherical washer surfaces). The Omegas have a brake specific pad holder that doesn't include that type of interface.

I'll have to check out my other brakes. I had not noticed it when I did my last bike build.

You can 100% do it on almost any brake, including Shimano Dura Ace.

I have noticed much less squeal from using a softer pad like the Swiss stop black prince. Not sure if that voids the flow warranty or not.
