Hello,
I have a road bike with the R785 hydraulic disc system and I am having trouble with the front disc pads. The pads keep getting contaminated and then squealing whilst working ineffectively. If I clean and sand the pads and the disc then the brakes are beautiful. However within about 20 miles the front starts to become ineffective and also squeals. When I remove the pads they have a dark glossy coating. It almost feel like the calliper is leaking and then covering the pads however, I have not had to replenish the reservoir.
Any ideas on what the cause could be?
Regards
Steve
