[Closed] vertical disc brakes

...no, not a new invention of brake. Rather, because I have a very small shed, I store my bikes upright. Question is, will this cause all the fluid to leak out of disc brakes? Or is it not an issue for brakes with good seals?

Following on from that, any issues with putting them upside down in a car?

They'll be fine no loss of fluid. Occasionally you loose the feeling in the lever (normally in the car) but it only a matter of pumping the lever for a minute or two to get it back to normal.

not a problem at all. Have been hanging my bikes from front / back wheels (alternating) for ten years and it's never affected the brakes (or I'm not going fast enough to notice ๐Ÿ˜‰ )
