Hey guys, this bike has about 60 miles on it and the front brake has started making this noise (see video). Interestingly it doesn't seem to happen when the tire is spun the opposite direction. Any thoughts? New brake pad maybe?
Also the lever now needs to be pulled back all the way to work (unlike the back brake). Reddit won't let me post a photo of the lever but it's a Tektro auriga e-comp brake that uses mineral oil (and a sticker on it that says not to turn a couple of screws or it'll lower lever sensitivity. I haven't turned the screws).

    Does it make any noise when spinning freely? If so the caliper needs realignment. If not have you tried bombing down a hill and just riding a break and see if it goes away?
