    If you're running sintered pads, get something else. There are a bunch of options for that bike.

      Yep. Use garnet paper.

        I am going to buy some organic pads and sand the rotors. It will take a week or so to get the pads so I will have to listen to the squeak for a week.

          Check for a bent rotor! That will make a squeak in a hurry. Also check the spooge hole is not partly plugged off.

            Sponge hole is good, no pulsating during braking either so I don't think there's any runout on the rotors. I ordered a new set of organic EBC pads, I will resurface the rotors with 80 grit and install them with some disk quiet.
