Squeal like a pig (name that movie, I won't post the video :) )
Scoot around and brake check, just gotta look for leaks.
LOUD squealy both ends. Could be a combo of dirty rotors, poor caliper alignment etc etc . Can't put any heat into the rotors until I get the drive sorted and can get bike up to speed and go through the bedding in process for brakes, that might cure some of the squeal. The pads might be it, but 2 different types in use and both squeal, can feel vibration coming from back end. From memory, Avid pads where costly, didn't last long but quiet, the after market pads are 1/2 the price, last longer but noisy when very hot or very wet.
NDS piccy for brakes and taped on hose..... might just get the bathroom scales out and have a weigh in :)
