Good stuff.

Brakes squealing?
Do you have sintered pads fitted?
My brakes squeal when the ground has been dry for a time and I use EBC Gold sintered pads.

If you rarely ride in deep mud it may be worth using a different compound. I tried the EBC red enduro pads but they only lasted one ride before they were down to metal. I suspect that muds clogs them up and the material burns off.
From that I would think that the red pads would suit dryer conditions.
