My hydraulic brakes squeal the first time i brake but then stop.i dont think its condensation as i dont always bring it through the house but i just found it odd as this has never happened to me before.
Does anyone know what it might be / if it might indicate a problem.

Thanks in advance

    Not a problem, just happens, embrace your inner shreikiness!

    I dont think its a problem im just curious as to what it is because it seems strange that it goes after the first time a brake

    It can be due to lots of reasons, the brakes on my commuter always squeal on cold damp mornings for the first few applications or when it's wet.
