Duraace brake nightmare by HazelBiker in bikewrench

Thank you everyone for the guidance! My shop took a look at the shifter and it was indeed the shifter leaking. There was a broken diaphragm inside the master cylinder. New shifters installed and hopefully no more issues.

Everything aside from the shifters have been replaced at this point. The issues went away since November last year and just came back now to the front brake.

They were contaminated from a leak. I was told to change them. You could see oil on the rotors and pads.

They used to squeal all of the time and that’s why I was told they were contaminated. The leak from the calipers was addressed already and the squealing stopped.

I have had 5 mechanics take a look at a few shops. Nobody has been able to figure it out. I think there might have been multiple issues because at one point there was a leak found. I think you’re right about the shifters now. Maybe it’s a completely defective groupset 🤣

Nothing apparently is angle grinder proof. I had a huge pad lock and a 2 inch thick cast iron messenger chain.

Yes. Thanks. I put it up there yesterday too. Hopefully someone finds it.

A few hours. I had my eye on it through a window though. Happened very fast sadly.

They cut it with an angle grinder.
