I recently purchased this bike used.
When slowing down to a stop, such as a light or stop sign, when I am almost stopped the front right brake lets out a horrible squeal noise. I have removed the pads and scuffed them up cleaned the brake dust off, and reinstalled. It seemed to fix it for about 4 -5 stops, then it started again. The next time I did the same thing but swapped the pads around and it is still happening.
The pads in both front calipers appear to be the same in terms of brand / model.
The squealing occurs more frequently when my gf is a passenger, and she is only 115 lbs.
Logically I would think its a problem with the pads, but could there be somthing else wrong with the calipers? Just looking for some input on this problem because it drives me nuts and I am constantly thinking my brakes are going to fail on me.
