Howdy y'all. If you can't tell, it seems I'm super knowledgeable when it comes to someone else's bike but won't go near my own without a second and third opinion . So here's my question to you (it's two parts):
1) I've had my bike running for a while and take it for little putts here and there . One thing I've noticed since it started going was that the front disk brake squeals whenever applied. I know that squeaking is normal on some metallic compound brakes, but I'm just not sure if it's something I should be expecting and treating as normal, or I should be replacing my brakes.
2) I inspected my brakes not terribly long ago and noticed one pad was wearing much faster than the other . There's still a lot of material on both, as I can still see the wear bars, but when it comes time for a brake renewal should I be pulling my caliper apart and ordering a rebuild kit/upgrading my brake system?
Thanks
