I fixed my slipping chain(took out 4 links and straightened the bent rear mech)then i washed lubed and wiped the frame using wd40 like in the video with Martyn Ashton and guess what.......?yep wd40 on the front brake bugger???????? im gonna blow torch and sand the disks and rotor, ill let you know how i get on after work.(im making crying noises)
by the sounds of this you have time to fix/clean your bike at work?? but your on stw so you must be an it manager
Nah ,Im a chef so im on an afternoon break ,im gonna try some hardcore oven degreaser, gently on the rotors and then if i cant sort pads ill bin them
I'd give the brakes a blast with brake/carburettor cleaner or IPA then go for a test ride. What's the worst that could happen?
Ok ,so i am a chef and my ovens and stoves get greased up and whatnot ,so every night the junior chefs and kps bring it all back to silver ,so i was thinking oven cleaner (sodium hydroxide)works on steel -my rotors are steel- bingo, brushed some on wearing good latex(2 pairs)left 1 min,then washed off, using water from the boiler then sanded carefully using wet and dry. Same for pads but between washing and sanding gave 30 seconds of blow torch ,then rode home less than a mile and both wheels lock up(its wet) managed some lovely endo's as well JOB DONE .
