Slx brake
Ice tech rotor
Front wheel.

Can not get the front to stop making a racket.
Cleaned rotors changed pads sanded with 80 grit.

Any suggestions?

Followed the method as of gmbn.

Help appreciated.

Caliper aligned correctly?

Rotor's rivets are nice and tight so the disc section is secured to the spider properly?

Micro leak at the caliper causing new pads to get contaminated?

I changed from sintered to resin and for some reason that totally solved it. Not something I'd usually advocate living in Wales but it worked, I now have silent descending, which, when you are going down really steep footpaths does help you to be a little stealth!

I am on SRAM RS Guides if that helps

Any circular marking on the reverse of the pads to indicate leaks coming from the caliper seals ?

I've a similar prob in that they squeal, but not until im about stopped, so scrubs off speed okish(TBH iI think it should have more bite for a 4 pot, but maybe still bedding ๐Ÿ˜•

Was told if theres any circular marking on the reverse it indicates leaking seals.

Original or aftermarket pads? Recent Uberbike pads are gaining notoriety for squeeling
