After getting tires mounted Saturday I put the rims back on the bike and decided to flush the urine samples that were in the front and rear reservoirs. Mainly because after pulling some bodywork I noticed the rear was pretty much sitting on the lower level, which may have been the reason for a slightly mushy rear pedal eh?
After running about 5 fills on the rear and 12 on the front I had some clean stuff in the lines so I took it for a ride and while the back was much improved the fronts were almost dangerous.
They improved a bit during the ride but not enough.
The mech who mounted the tires wiped everything clean with something from a spray can which he said was to remove the agent he used to help break the bead which was also applied with a spray can.
I took a clean rag and a bottle of alcohol to the rotors this morning before I left for work and removed quite a bit of black crud from them, set the lever at 1 instead of 2 and had good front brakes again. I don't know what he used but I don't think it cleaned anything so beware.
