A squeaky pair of disk brakes nearly drove me mad on my mountain bike. I tried everything to clean as they did not look that worn but in the end a cheap simple new replace did the job.

Squeaking brakes are terrible. I often have squeaky disk brakes when cycling in wet conditions. I startled many of the other cyclists with this 😂
I have a disk brake cleaner, but that doesn't work when the grease has gotten into the brake pads. Replacing is the only option then.
It works as a horn xDDD
I use 180mm discs on the front (mtb) and they also squeak in wet conditions
You can lightly sand the pads when they get oily. Find a super flat surface and try it out.
That's a good tip, thanks!
Damn! You mean squeaky like a bus horn when you brake or that other squeak when it's lightly rubbing against the pads? I hate the second, when it makes that 'tic tic tic tic' kinda of sound.
