I have a set of Deore Hydros on my Cove Handjob, the ones where the master cylinder is parallel to the bars.
Last time I rode the bike (3 weeks ago) they were fine, stopping nicely, good power and pretty much as per usual as they have been for 3 years.
The bike hasn’t been washed since it’s last ride as it was in the snow and it’s been stored in my bike room, but today my brakes were squealing like a stuck pig and with no discernible power or stopping ability unless you properly yanked on the levers. Even then it was massively reduced and a touch scary at times.
Tried a quick trail side sanding of the pads and discs but to no avail. Pads are in good nick with plenty left on them.
Any ideas?
