I think my rear brake setup is contaminated with oil - it squeals super loud.
Why though, would the squeal stop as soon as I pedal a little bit (still with the brakes on)?
It's almost as if the pads or something is knocked into a more locked in position when I pedal a bit and it stops the noise immediately.
Regarding contaminated pads - can they be saved? Disc cleaner didn't do shit.
Also, what's the lever throw like on the new Ultegra Di2/hydro levers? Mine are shit.
