Canyon Grizl with Campy Ekar. Love the bike and the system but since my last service (VeloFix) every time I ride it a little wet gravel the front brakes sound like this. Doesn't happen on the back.
This was also after a good hose down.
Any recommendations?
I'm still new to gravel and never had this much trouble with my road bike brakes.
Is this normal (brakes after wet ride)

Caliper not aligned?
You just got some dirt and grime on the brake pads. This happens more often if the brake pad isn’t perfectly aligned with the disc.
Is really nothing to worry about if it disappears when you ride the bike for a couple of minutes as the system will self clean.
It’s entirely normal
Not relevant to your question but do you have a skin or stickers or something on your bike? If so I would be interested in knowing where you got them!
Gravel riding in the wet does this, totally normal will go away when dry.
