I recently had my front & rear tires replaced with Dunlop Roadsmarts (great tire btw).
Anyway… about 100km later I’ve developed a rear brake squeal only for a moment just before coming to a stop. There seems to be lots of pad left, & I cleaned the rotors. This has been happening the last 500km or so. Any ideas how to remedy this?

I'm becomming an expert on brakes.

Take apart the whole rear brake.
Clean the brake cylinder, pump it almost all the way out, and use some ATE grease to lub lthe sealing between cylinder and calipper.
push back the cylinder.
Clean the brakepads, and use some copper-grease on the points that make contact with the calipper when you put them back.
Give the pin a bit of coppergrease also, or replace it with a stainlesssteel one
Put some grease on the sliders, so the calipper can move smoothly from lefgt to right.
clean the rotor.

The brakepads have to ajust to this new situation, so give them time, (miles) ,
After a while you will notice it is almost as new.

They use to sell a spray compound for brake squeal. Basically you spray it on the back of the pad, a sticky, rubbery compound. Not sure if there is a reason not to do that with the newer pads, but I used it before on other bikes.
