Half way through a sunny afternoon jaunt on my croix de fer and ive soent the past hour suffering the embarassment of my brakes trumpeting like an angry elephant everytime i pull on the anchors. I cleaned the discs with disc brake cleaner but its made no difference. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Are they balanced EG back and front gripping the pads at the same time or is it one before the other

Are the pads glazed, take em out and give them a rub on sandpaper. Use IPA, not the beer to clean discs.
