Anyone got any idea to stop front brake pads squeaking?

I've bleed the brake line and am certain there is no air in the system, the line is attached fully to the lever and caliper, the front axle and the back of the pads are greased and it still squeaks loudly, it makes the bike stop as expected but just makes lots of noise doing so.

It's a Hope Mono 6ti on a push bike if thats of any help, it's the same mechanics as one on a motorbike so I figure brake sweaking is caused and solved by the same things.

I've run out of ideas and everything I can find on the 'net lists to do the things I've already done. Neutral

I imagine that even on something that small, you can get glazed brake pads. Have a go at them with some sandpaper and see if there's any improvement?

Either that the brake disks themselves are warped and so you'll to inspect them for that.
