as above replaced the pads on my bike with new EBC sintered pads.

front brake works fine no rub nice and tight lots of grip.

rear is rubbin a bit with a metal type squeal,not loads but enought to annoy me.

will this disappear as they bed in or is there any slight adjustments i could make to eliminate this? ideally i dont want to bleed the brakes as they feel pretty good.

just a tiny amount should do.

Shimano XT 765 by the way.

    they need to bed in.

    did the brakes need bleeding before the pad change? No. then they do not need a bleed now.

    you may be did not push the pistons home the same on the rear.

    if they have not settled after a few rides reset and align caliper (if needed).
