annoying break squeek
#1
ive recently changed my front discs and now have an annoying squeak under breaking, its very subtle but there. when I re fit the pads I copper slipped the backs so its not them.

any ideas?

It could be the pads bedding in to the new discs or the pad material itself. Sometimes the make up of the pad can cause squeaking under light loading. Give it a few hundred miles to bed in and see if it improves.
Are we there yet????? Huh

The last set I replaced took 2/3 thousand miles to settle down and squeaked under light braking but stopped now.
