Impossible to dtermine with out looking.
Are the rotors clean and straight?
Are the rotors hitting the pads?
-
The sources of squeal are:
-dirty pads or rotor
-misaligned caliper
-misaligned mounting hardware (frame or fork tabs)
-damged componentsMost likely it's the pad to rotor alignment, which should be parallel and perpendicular and centered, if 2- or 4- piston system.
The next most likely problem is contamination, so use Isopropyl Alcohol to clean the rotor and pads....
Any more details you can give?
