Question Screeching disc brakes

just took my new 2008 Pro 5 out for its first dirty run. Got back cleaned it with Muck off and then applied the water disperser that comes with the kit, but not on the discs, dried everything off and to my amazement both disc brakes squell like a pig now, any ideas on how this can be cured??

gday, i know this is a bit late and you probably have fixed the problem, but take the pads out and sand then down a bit with some sand paper, that should fix the problem.
cheers

Not so! I think it could be much more simple than that. Make sure all the nuts and bolts that are connected with the disc brakes are tight. Simple as that!
