    I have a huffy fat bike and its front wheel is making a squeaky squeling noise. It has disc brakes in the front.
    The front brakes are good and yet they squek when I push the front brakes, but it stops pretty good
    It used to be where if the sound would go away for a second if I pumped the front brakes a little when riding it.
    Would anybody know why it squeks like this?
    And the frame is quite good, as I have had it since May 2015

    Pretty much all bicycles do this. Since the braking force is still good, just clean the disk and maybe wipe & reposition the pads. At worst you'll need to replace the pads.

    Lol it's because you bought a Huffy. Once you fix the squealing you're just going to have another issue.

    The disk brakes on my bike have this issue quite a lot...the main reason is the rotors and/or pads are starting to reach end of life and need replacement, at least on most disk-brake bikes I've ever had.

    If you replace the brake pads, lubricate them before installing them.
