You could try to clean the pads:
Take pads out and either
set on fire with isopropylalcohol
or
heat on stove (outside) for 10 minutes or till smoke stopsSand lightly.
clean rotor with isopropylalcohol.
reinsert pads
bed-in brake with 10 hard stops
otherwise shimano sinthered/metal pads are quite good.

A mate of mine reckons he has some bad brake squeal and bad stopping power on his Shimano M485 disc brakes. What could be some "easy win" culprits? A good bleed, obviously, but apparently the stock shimano pads for these calipers aren't good, are there any aftermarket options?
