@William.
Recent ride has convinced me to abandon disc brakes. My rear Lyra Tektro has crumbled inside, had it been the front I'd have been in trouble. Constant pressure on a long descent, a sudden click and now it won't actuate.
My front, which I upgraded to a TRP sprye, has always been a bit shit, got steadily worse during the ride, which was very wet / muddy. Just given it a full strip down and de-grease, and with the lever held super tight, I can still turn the front wheel.
