After treating my bike to a proper clean, both my Saint brakes levers are now full on floppy,so pretty sure the hydraulic pistons in the levers are both fekked. I didn’t realise Fenwicks was so lethal, usually I just use a little soapy water. The pistons were very sticky too, but I’ve freed them up.
I’m looking up how to overhaul Saints, seems a bit tricky but worth a go. They were 100% fine before, even though they are 5 years old and been through a lot.
One suggestion was to soak them in diesel or petrol…?
Assuming I balls this up, can you use an XT lever with a 4 piston Saint caliper? Seems that the lever might not push enough fluid and its stroke would be very different?
Thanks
