Has anyone had an issue where their rear Shimano brakes get contaminated and lose almost all stopping power?
I have some cheapo deore brakes that when working properly are really all I need on this particular bike.
The problem is that when the bike sits for a while, something seems to be contaminating the rear brake pads. It's almost no stopping power, and if I try to pull harder they just skreach loud and still don't help me stop.
The last time I was super careful and made sure no chain lube got on. It must be the mineral oil but I don't see any leaks.
So, has anyone else had this? And if so, is there a way to de-contaminate the pads?
