A bit of a simple one this - it wont stop squeeling like a stuck pig!

It looks like the disc is too close to the wheel, judging by the amount of piston showing on the outer half of the caliper. I know the pads are worn, but there life in them yet, and its was like this with new pads in. Hope pro2 hubs with Hayes stroker brakes on and orange five.

Anyone any ideas?

Looks like the caliper needs re-aligning and the pistons look rusty.

Sticky piston.

Pads out, lightly pump the lever and then give a good PTFE lube spray.
Then push the pistons back and repeat until both move.

Ok cheers, will give it a go.

The caliper is pushed in as far as possible towards the wheel to get it central on the disc, but it still wont get quite far enough over - no spacers missing anywhere?

Put some washers between the disc mount and the swingarm?

try a couple of washers between the frame and mount, will move the caliper into the hub a bit, and do the sticky piston bit as said above
