So one thing that has been bugging me lately is brake squeal. Around the time of Mods vs Rockers in mid June, I noticed that my brakes would squeal when I would apply them. I didn't pay too much attention to it until the past 2 weeks. The squeal is progressively louder, and now I also get squeaking when the bike is moving, i.e. the brakes are not applied. I read online that one symptom might be glazing of the rotor, so I cleaned the rotor and then scuffed it up with a scotch brite pad. I am not sure if it really worked, since I had some relief for a good 20 minutes of riding, but then the problem came back. I guess I can start by ordering a new set of brake pads right? I also hear that the brake pads should be "glued" onto the piston with this stuff called "Brake Quiet" rather than silicone sealer.
