I've been using the Roubaix all through winter and am especially fussy about washing it down after riding on salted roads. Probably too fussy because last Wednesday my derailleur cage siezed and wouldn't swivel. Stripped it all down today and found that water had got into the body around the cage swivel, rusting the spring and causing the small steel axle to rust and sieze. There was no sign of any grease.
Clearly Shimano components are built for use in California and Spain and not in a UK winter.
The rear brake is in the same manky about-to-sieze condition so I need to strip it right down. Can anybody point me to some instructions online? It looks a bit of a job.
