Front brake squealing
Front brake squeals really bad when the brake lever is pulled back. The bike rolled over 10,000 miles today; so there's an accomplishment. Does this mean the pad is bad and need to be replaced? The bike is a Hi Bird 250 (GY2). And I only see one brake pad (unlike Lifan's two pads).

These bikes are famous for the brake pad overlying the disk so there is a ridge built op where the pad does not make contact. Remove pads, cut or grind off the ridge, add anti-squeal to the back of the poads, and you're good to go.
