Mine were squealing like a mad thing with the more minimalist stock clarks rotor. They were so loud I was afraid to brake, which defeated the purpose of having them somewhat...
I switched to chunky rotors, they'd been languishing in my parts box for maybe 5 years, stripped from an old entry level mountain bike which was destined for the tip, and they are much quieter now.
Disc brakes do not play by a certain set of rules. You just got to figure your ones out. As a rule, when it rains they will squeal a bit.
