Default Brake squeal?

Last week one of my brakes started to intermittently squeal, primarily at fairly high speed and when turning to the right. I took off both rear wheels and didn't see any obvious damage to the rotors. It possibly could be coming from the front drivers wheel, but it really sounds like it is coming from the back. Pads appear to be more than fine.



Any suggestions on what else to check, short of taking it in for a brake check?

Find a chain that gives a free check and get a check. It's not that big an inconvenience, and totally worth it IMO. Or if you're big on DIY, break out the caliper grease and make sure everybody is nice and lubed up, then go get a check if necessary.
