Squealing Brakes driving me crazy

[fossyant]

Sorry, don't know what you're talking about.

No probs, might have been someone else.

The issue is the pads and/or discs and something going on. No spray lubes or anything used ? Even a slightly contaminated pad is sort of toast, even baking/sanding etc doesn't help.. If changing material, you'll need to bed them in (you'll know this)..

I'd re-assemble the whole lot, discs off, clean, fix back on, pads out, in clean. Bolt checks.

Never had issues like this TBH. From 4 pot SRAM to cable cheap Clark brakes. Contamination is an issue. Wife's SLX brakes contaminated. Fixed that by googling and tightening up all fixing points.

It turns out the brake pads I was sent in April were sintered rather than the semi-metallic I usually go with 🤦‍♂️ Just sent an email to Gorilla Brakes to send me some semi-metallic brakes ASAP. Hopefully once those go in it'll be fixed. If this is what sintered brakes are like to use I'm amazed anyone ever bothers with them.

I'd re-assemble the whole lot, discs off, clean, fix back on, pads out, in clean. Bolt checks.

I've already done that, but thanks.
