Fitted the replacement discs from Gheeks and new Bendix sintered pads. bike passed MOT great....


But I have noticed at low speeds a squeal from the front brakes when the brakes are applied lightly.


Release brake squeal goes away.
Being a little paranoid as i think its a metal on metal squeal.


Am I being paranoid there will be little or no brake dust but I cannot stop thinking I am wearing out the discs.


I want to completely dismantle each caliper and clean the pistons and seals and re assemble.


I have even bought a set of Galfer 1054 in case the Bendix pads are being too aggressive.


any thoughts....


Sintered on the front are absolutely fine.
They will however chew the feck out of a rear disc far easier than the front so bear that in mind, and avoid in the future.
