in my opinion squirting brake cleaner is no replacement for a good clean and coat of red rubber grease.
You're probably right, but I don't have the time or the opportunity to do that at the moment.
I know the MOT has a brake test in it, but can anyone tell me exactly what's involved?

Hi your bike will fail the mot if the brakes are binding or sticking. The mot computer measures brake efficiency which is (%) = (Retarding Force ÷ Weight) x 100
You'll need to find the time to fix it fella :thumbup
