Squeaky rear brake

[Jdratcliffe]

ideas? happened on the way in today and for all 22miles i was using the lightest of touches on the rear and 99% on the front... so loud and anoying i cleand the bike sunday and work from home yday so don know if its something ive done/sprayed accendently (use gt85, muck off degreaser and muck off pink spray) but never had a squeak like this before...

checked the pads nothing i can see sticking out
wiped rim and pads with a baby wipe once i got to work but nothing other then the standard road grim.

ideas?

No idea, but mine does the same and goes some way to alerting others to my presence on the road.

Find a long steep hill and drag the rear brake all the way down. You've got some washing up liquid or Muck Off on the rim, once it wears off you'll be ok.
