My disc brakes seem to sqeak on the front and back of my bike ,
if i spin the wheel it spins ok but as it slows down it sounds like something is rubbing ,
I took the pads out and had a look and it seemed like the piston was sticking out a tiny bit ,
i pushed the piston back in and it all seemed to be ok but after using the brake alot it seems to not be retracting very well .
How can i sort this out ?

    clean and lube the piston that is sticking.

    What brakes?
