Oil the discs, haha! :rollin
Well I have 2 cans of brake cleaner and the plan is:
1. Clean pistons and pads with toothbrush and brake cleaner.
2. Brillopad / wirewool disc with brake cleaner
3. Toothbrush and brake cleaner on rivets.
I don't understand why the brake lines would create a pulse. Mine are all standard.
Everything actually runs freely and the pads do retract and don't drag. But a clean won't hurt. With a fixed caliper you have to have some movement somewhere to allow for the slight warp of a hot disc.
Anyway, it needs sorting because a couple of times I've locked the front wheel under heavy braking when it shouldn't have.
I'll let you know how I get on....
