Got my hoodoo nearly two weeks ago and I have a really annoying whistle/bell noise coming from the front wheel maybe the rotor when cornering! Any ideas guy?

Also my front disc break is squeaking is this normal for bedding in or ???

    Brakes bed in quickly - not over weeks.

    Brakes make noises. When they get dry, when they get muddy, sometimes randomly.
    If they work, just ride.

    It's mainly the noise that's the trouble pretty annoying

    A couple of things to check:

    1) Check the calipers are properly aligned and both the caliper and rotor bolts are tightened.
    2) Rotors may be contaminated, so worth trying some disc brake cleaner on them.

    But if it's a new bike I'd take it back to Halfords.
