I've had my bike only a fortnight or so and the brakes are starting to squeak when riding fairly slow and if I apply the brake a little it goes but is there a reason for this ? Many tips to resolve this ?

For a bike that cost so much I'm not happy to ride past people with it squeaking constantly lol !

If they squeek without you applying pressure then presumably the pads are rubbing on the rotor...so caliper and rotor not aligned properly?
