In the past I've burned off contaminated oil by hard braking or extended brake dragging. I've not had this long enough to sort it that way but each time I stop, there's more black stuff on the disc rotor so I guess there's lots of oil to burn off.

Okay, I'll pull the pads out and knock a layer off before hosing them with disc cleaner or IPA (not that kind).

Any preference for sandpaper grit or should I just use what I've got? gets metal file out :)

I'm using whatever sandpaper we had in the shed. Metal file didn't do much.

But yeah, get Hopes. Made in Britain, for the British.

Fuck that. I'm persevering with the worst Shimano product ever made until I destroy it and see what the Ultegra or DA is like. Actually the caliper death was mechanic's fault, it's the levers I hate.
