So, this morning my front disc that was working perfectly saturday morning decided it could just stop braking and start squealing instead.
Had the same problem with the old disc / pads which is why I swapped them three weeks ago.
What could have caused this? contaminated pads? From standing in the cellar?
Although dragging the brake through a downhill section of my commute brought back the power and stopped it squealing. Burned it clean I guess.
