I sanded the pads and rotors with 220 emery cloth, cleaned the rotors with acetone, did a little truing and re-alignment. Also put a new cable and housing on the front, as I discovered a couple nasty kinks that couldn’t have been helping matters. In my quick around the block test, the noise is almost entirely gone, and stopping power is greatly improved.
Thanks for all the tips.
