Does anyone know how to stop Disc Brake squeel?

Hi Guys

I've just built up a gravel bike and after every 3 rides, the disc brakes squeel like mad when the braking comes towards a stop and it literally scares the shot out on people.

Cleaning the calipers and rotors works for a short period but it comes back after a week.

I'm keeping it it a cellar if that could be of use in the answer at all?

Muchos thankos

There’s a disc brake thread

There are a number of things that could be the cause.

Dirt and oil that has migrated into your pads

Am sure it won’t happen again after Brexit

Resin/Organic brake pads

Ahh fab, thanks Howard =)

Didn't even know they existed, but am googling right away, thanks mate!

Hope not, Just got to worry about selling off forests, fox hunting, fracking, and the closing of borders then we'll be getting there innit

They’re softer/wear quicker but should be a bit more powerful and quiet than metallic pads

Oh maan, I don't mind If I have to change them every 2 months if they're more powerful and less noisy, Thanks so much Phil!

I do think you have to work on your believable personas. Tone it down a bit then it would be less obvious.

Perhaps more powerful isn’t completely accurate. They have better modulation so less bitey but if I remember correctly, they’re more susceptible to fade so if you drag the brakes on long descents and still want them to work well afterwards, metallic may be better but I prefer resin for most riding. Mine still squeal in the wet but to be honest I can’t actually remember what pads are in at the moment.

Hello? wow this is heavy and creepy!

I see what you mean, but still cool, I prefer softer but wear quicker, it's the same with my road tyres always use michelin pro 4 service course's pretty expensive though.

This is what i mean. You want to let this sort of thing go as if you don't understand it rather than pushing back with force.
