    Brake squeak

    Does anyone else find a constant squeak from there surge brakes. Maybe I look to much into these trailer brakes but they never seem "right". I hear a squeak at all speeds telling me something's dragging a bit. I know they are working, but maybe not releasing right. I get a little brake dust build up and some heat on the wheel but not to the point you can't touch it.

    Disc brakes drag all the time. No springs to retract the pads from the rotors. Dip them in water regularly and speaking is no surprise.
