Recommendation for mechanic close to SE21 who is good with 105 R7000 hydraulics

Getting really fed up with my 105 brakes. The rear brake is fine but I've been bleeding and bleeding the front one as best I can with cleaned rotors and new pads, and no joy. Warranty return is allegedly a no go because Madison isn't accepting returns.

I've had two shops have a go on it saying theyve done the best they can but I'm not at all happy, I can still actually spin the wheel when I have the bike in the stand and applying maximum brakeage. It just isn't right. Getting fobbed off with 'ah they've just got a long reach', nah they aren't right.

Would really appreciate a recommendation for a shop with a mechanic who knows what they're doing with 105 R7000 hydraulics because this is really getting on my nerves. Extra marks for a specific mechanic I can ask for.

+1 for rat race. Best shop around SE I've found for repairs.

Seabass isn't bad either but rat race is better

They are utterly rammed at the moment so phone, and if you get lucky and get a call back be aware that they may not take it for a while.

Thanks guys my dad's club uses rat race so will give them a try.

God help me I am at the very end of my rope with this shit. "Upgrade" from trp spyres my arse.

Have you bedded in the brakes? If you make too god of a job cleaning the rotors may need again.
Also, if the rear have less travel than the front could mean you need a bit more fluid.

If it helps my girlfriend upgraded her Spyres to R7000 and the difference was night and day. This will surely come down to setup.

Also, if the rear have less travel than the front could mean you need a bit more fluid.

Heh, well, it means you need less air in your lines / callipers and adding fluid on its own does not solve the problem by itself :)

Asked rat race by phone a few days ago but no response - I'm just going to "downgrade" back to spyres. Won't be cheap but I no longer trust this bike and want to go back to a system I trust.
If anyone fancies R7000 calipers and levers you might spot them on this forum soon...
