You guys just spemt years telling me that you know much b ettdr thazn I
how myh brakes are working. What oh what are you going to do when I saw
that they are now working properly? Tell me that they were woeiking all
along? Allow Liebermann to tell you what I have like you all listgened
tol him tell you what mt rides were like.

Much like Andrew disk brake problems are to do with them needing to be
bleed (ie gone slightly squishy, or pads have picked up oil, ’ve personally
rarely managed to save pads at that point possible only once, by riding on
the beach multiple days one holiday seemed to clean the pads enough at
least for the commute bike, ie didn’t howl and worked.

 
Andrw, what's the differene between a 8170 and a 8070?
 

89 grams apparently plus a extra sprocket! Ie 11 to 12 speed Ultegra.
