The one I could have possibly warrantied was a Deore. These SLX I bought off retrobike.
I fully intended to try and warranty the Deore but then it slipped my mind for a little while and by the time I remembered about it it was waay out of warranty so I just punted it on eBay (with full disclosure).
But that episode just goes to prove that even buying new doesn’t make you immune to the curse of the leaky caliper.
...And for some reason, you stood your ground refusing to send it off for warranty!
