Yes.

Probably will... needing an occasional deglazing of the pads via some spirited riding where some heavy braking cleans whilst having some fun!

I plan on doing some of that this Wed, as I have the day off.

Oh, and if the pads come out again, a light smear of brake grease, rubber grease or copper grease on the back of the pads may deter the vibration that can contribute to the squeal.

Got a tube of that PBR grease mesself.
I remember as a kid a brake store called 'Preston Brakes' with the PBR logo.

Do be careful greasing brakes tho!

No squeal, no stop.
