On my ride home today my rear brake started to squeel??

Only at slow speeds comming up to say stop signs or red lights...

I know the pads are fine casue the bike only has a few k miles on it...

Any home remedies to stop the squeel?? I know we use a stop squeel product on brand new rotors and pads when we install them at work, but ive heard NOT to use that on anything other than brand new brakes?

Brake squeel is normally caused by some crap stuck behind the back place of the pad and the caliper, causes it to vibrate and make a noise. Strip them out and refit using copper grease on the pins and on the back of the pads. That will shut them up

 

Thanks Luke! I'll give it a whirl...
