Is the caliper aligned properly? Crap on the pads? Been raining?

my Hayes started squeaking, so i just feathered the lever, so the pads just touching the disk, then it stopped squeaking, not sure if this is the correct way though

Has been raining a bit recently, mine was squeaking a couple of days ago.

Has it just started recently or has it been squeaking for a while?

Sometimes it overheats. You have to make sure it's in a ventilated place all the time.

Is it new? How long have you had it? If it is new it may still be bedding in. Brakes can squeal from time to time when bedding in.

depends on what you've cleaned it with, the pads might have been contaminated

BTR

Mine squeal. Its not like, a loud 'wet disc' squeal. More like a really quiet, ridiculously high pitched squeak.
Most people can't hear it. I tune out to it, but my mates get really annoyed by it.
Doesn't bother me, my brakes work fine, so I just leave it.

What are you cleaning with?

You should only be using turps or something like that to clean discs, anything else can leave residue.

not working

rubber side up

Take the pads out and give them a light rub over with some fine sandpaper. pads sound like they are glazed over.
