Hi guys, I’m pretty new to disc brakes so I thought I’d ask for some advice. Since two months I’m riding my new checkpoint alr4 with the sram apex group set and I’m experiencing some issues with the brakes. I’m living in the alps so I do quite some descents. When going downhill the brakes start screaming really quickly wich seems odd to me (I don’t keep them pressed lightly all the time but use them short but firmly to let them cool down in between). Also when riding low speeds and braking they make some kind of scratching/squeeking noise. Can it be that they are just dirty or am I not seeing something. Ps. I know disc brakes can get loud when they get hot but this occurs pretty much from start to finish on a descent.
