Impossible to dtermine with out looking.
Are the rotors clean and straight? Are the rotors hitting the pads?

The sources of squeal are:
-dirty pads or rotor -misaligned caliper -misaligned mounting hardware (frame or fork tabs) -damged components Most likely it's the pad to rotor alignment, which should be parallel and perpendicular and centered, if 2- or 4- piston system. The next most likely problem is contamination, so use Isopropyl Alcohol to clean the rotor and pads.... Any more details you can give? |
