Riding in this morning in the rain two new and unpleasant symptoms arose. Firstly braking power was vastly diminished and secondly the brakes made a godawful squealing noise - I should think the whole of CS7 heard it.
Sounds like contaminated pads / rotors. Check calipers for leaks. If there are none, take out pads and give them a good clean with disc brake cleaner. Give rotors a good scrub too. If you feel adventurous you can use something abrasive which removes the pad residue and allows you to bed them in again from fresh.
If you find a leak...warantee job.

Squeal could be pads not aligned properly to rotor.

Ok - I need a bit of advice and know jack about disc brakes.
My new bike has TRP Hylex brakes and have about three weeks use. In the past week or so when braking the dry there has been a noticeable shudder from the front wheel.

I think I bedded in the pads properly - certainly followed manufacturers advice. Thoughts on how to solve the problem appreciated.
