disc squeal

 

  lately as I am riding, my front disc brakes started to squeal, or as some say sing. What is a good remedy? should I get disc klean that is used on automobile? Is there something made for bikes, I don't see any at bike shops or online like nasbar. I don't think it can cause a mechanical problem, it's just annoying.  thank in advance...  Jerry

Cleaning the disks and getting new disc pads sounds like a plan.....but I have little experience with disc maintenance.....

Did you try aligning the disc in the smack in the middle of the pads? When the disc is off-center, rubbing/squealing occurs (like rim brakes).
