Can you get a sheet of sand-paper between the disc and the brake pad?
Give the pad a few strokes with the sand side - not the disc.

But, mechanics tell me that most often the squeak is coming from the back of the pad - vibrating in its holder. They apply a dab of lubricant, or a teflon like pad to insulate the two surfaces.

Thanks Stig! Any idea if taking the wheel off to apply the lubricant to the pads voids the warranty?

Guys/Gals. I'm desperate. I LOVE my super 8 150, but the damn thing has had intermittent front wheel squealing ever since I got it. The thing is the squeal goes away when I brake. Any ideas?
