I've already bought a set of Deore 4-pots....
I used a chefs blowtorch to burn clean rotors and pads. Works a treat. Or at least did for me.
That's great. Until the caliper weeps again.
4 pots came with my new bike (6 months ago) went through all the above new pads sintered resin, Uber Shimano, new rotors but still screeched like a banshee wet or dry all that solved it was changing to Hope. Bike shop sent the 4 pots back to Madison which were replaced and I now have a brand new set which I’m reluctant to use and even more reluctant to sell. To note I have not had this with any previous Shimano brakes just the wandering bite point
Wandering bite point not being a particularly desirable trait in a brake either - a few times I’ve had a go on a mates SLX brake equipped bike and it’s scared the crap out of me when I’ve needed to brake and the lever suddenly pulls right to the bar and you have to let off and pull it again.
I’ll stick with my sram brakes that don’t do that - if they ever fail then Magura 4 pots are probably topping the list to try next.
