30 miles on it. I haven't gone through a drop of water. Jacked up the front and spun the front tires slowly to verify. Any idea why they squeak? How can I stop it? Thanks.

Jack up the front end, remove the tires & wheels, remove the brake caliper, remove the brake pads from the calipers ( do one side at a time if you're not to sure of yourself ). Clean the friction surface of the pads with BRAKE CLEANER ( NOT solvent or carb cleaner ) and flatten them with some wet $ dry sandpaper on a flat surface. Spray them with the BRAKE CLEANER again and apply some Automotive disk brake anti squeal to the back of the pads. Allow the anti squeal to set-up according to the directions, and reassemble. Repeat for the other side. You may end up doing this more than once during the life of the pads. Hard brake pad material tends to be noisy.
