[Closed] Squeaky gravel pads...

New Genesis Fugio which I’ve now done 4 dry and dusty rides round the local windfarm on, and loving it. I have a slightly annoying intermittent pad squeak/rattle from the front brakke, GRX, only noticeable above about 18mph on the road. It is definitely the pads as light pressure to the brake stops it. I’m guessing it’s the pad moving a little with the air and vibration. How to fix though ? Was going to try some copperslip on the back of the pad, any other ideas ?

Maybe take pads out, open out the spring a bit so it pushes the pads apart a bit more firmly, and refit?
