Welp, looked into the brake thing and I've a very rusty calliper that is now going to be replaced under warranty by TRP.
They referred me to this article, which I'd found previously, but wasn't keen on stripping them and voiding the warranty, plus things feel pretty crunchy after cleaning them out with half a can of WD40, so I think the bearings are past their best anyway.
TRP have been really great on email with the advice/warranty situ, but a bit of a bummer that the bike is going to be out of action for a bit.
Riding the roadie to work is a mixed bag. Fast = good. Backpack = bad.
