I've got squealing brakes - plan is to remove pads, clean rotor with scourer and dish soap and install new pads. Anything else (other than buying a new bike) I should bother doing?
I tried cleaning the rotors already and this didn't help and I filed the pads and that didn't help either so it could be deeper issue and need rotor swap.
I've cleaned my road bike rotors like this for years and they're great afterwards, These are MTB pads/rotors on the GrInbred. Must be a bit more 'baked in' shit. Also, I've no idea what the pads are - the back one looks green. Front I think is Shimano.
