    Trek Remedy, 2012, running an SLX brake on the rear with 180mm rotor. I have changed the pads(twice),the rotor(three times)and ALL the bolts,but it still lets the world know when I`m braking.
    Is this a problem other people have suffered?
    Anyone got a SENSIBLE solution?

    Bad luck. I used to try various things such as cleaning rotors with alcohol, taking pads out and sanding gently etc. now I just take the pads out and hit them with a blowtorch until they stop giving off their own flame.

    No idea if it is safe or not but works for me ( xt brakes btw)

    No fluid leaks…..No rotor contamination….

    try a small amount of copper grease between the pads and calipers.
    worked for my mono minis
