I am wondering if anybody else has a Rip Current S that has excessive brake noise? Both brakes on my new bike grind and make noise when applied firmly. They do ok when light pressure is applied. I took it to the bike shop for adjustment but it didn't help.
 
You did not mention if you bed in the brakes. The procedure is 15mph brake hard to 5mph keep doing that for 4-5 times. When doing the rear brakes sit back as far as you can to avoid brake lockup. It will transfer the pad material to the rotor. This should work I do it on both of my RCS.
