Issues on a brand new bike, bought from a currently unnamed online retailer. SRAM rival hydro brakes. As the brakes bedded in, the front became noisy. It's still very effective at stopping, though, and the rear brake is perfect.
I took it to an unnamed local bike shop who said it was set up fine, and any noise would be contamination and should burn off. I didn't agree, but didn't want to be a pain for them, so contacted the unnamed online bike retailer again. They said it'll be because I'm using the wrong type of pad (resin versus synthetic). That's obviously nonsense, and I'm no closer to working out what the issue is and then making the online retailer pay to fix it.
I took a video of the noise the other night. Does anyone have experience with this type of noise? Apologies for the panting, it was after going up a big hill. https://www.amazon.co.uk/photos/share/QRuXt6T8SvvsCOpvNyN3YkWFhHWIbPucpuHl2Z7x7wq
