Yeah, I’m telling ya, just borrow a wheel with the same size rotor and see if it disappears.

Without seeing or checking adjustments I’d also be going to the rotor or pads could also be the issue. I find that metal ICE Tec pads are very easily contaminated and very hard to decontaminate. I run XT with metal ICE Tec pads on 2 bikes lost power on one brake and had some squealing issues. New pads solved that problem for me.

Which pads solved the issue?
A new set of exact same pads.
Contaminated rotor? Could try scrubbing the rotor with rubbing alcohol to clean it, then rebreak it in.
It appears the trouble is in the rear triangle part of the frame. Not sure what exactly but Trek is sending a new one under warranty

But close. Hopefully shipping isn’t delayed. Trek is a great company to deal with so hopefully this is the last of it for you.
