I'm totally baffled as why my brakes are squealing.
I've used brake cleaner to clean my discs and I've replaced the resin pads front and back but it's still there.
When I put the calipers back on I squeezed the levers so they would fit square before tightening them I've tightened every thing holding it on.
I know on cars you put copper grease on the back of pads but I was told not to on MTBs.
Any other ideas.

I put Copper grease om the rear of my pads. It does help with the noise,

I sanded the discs and it still happens.
The discs seem straight and copper grease is next and its the only thing left to do.

Try scrubbing the discs with soapy water. I know you said you used brake cleaner but its still worth a go.It worked for me once.I think the brake cleaner is too harsh.
