Wasn't expecting any replies... wow...
I haven't really tried to get rid of it, just figured I'd give you guys a first crack it. You are more than welcome to come and take it away if you want
Calipers weren't too bad before - I'd scrubbed them up less than a month before this happened. Not too sure on the seals, I'll try and get the callipers off and take some photos for you. The sprockets are about a year old and covered about 3 - 4k miles.
As for the cause, nothing confirmed but leading suspicion is still the ultrasonic bath. I don't think the house insurance company are bothering to investigate or anything
Well the rear tyre certainly didn't, but the front managed to - not sure if the plastic well come off though...

Any idea what caused it?
