Help me peeps, my first post this. No matter how I adjust, clean, prune and swear I can't stop my front disk brake from squeaking. I've got Tektroย Aurigaย comp,ย hydraulic,ย dualย piston,ย coldย forged (copied from my spec)

The worst thing is it never made a noise until I removed the front wheel. Iv even taken it to a bike shop and he confirmed the disk isn't bent and didn't know what to suggest. The brakes are only 3 months old btw

I had this problem with shimano xt brakes, rotors were fine, set up with feeler gauges so they wre perfectly aligned still squeeled like a piggy. Swapped the pads for EBC after two sets of shimano, no more problems.
Can only sumize that the shimano pad material just wasn#t right and that it gripped released griped released very quickly therefore causing vibration.

Tektro Auriga comp

Ah yes. I got some of these as a budget option and they're really good brakes in the dry but in the wet? Oh sweet jesus! They squeal like a stuck pig on a ghost train.
