My TRP brakes were never great but my rear just completely stopped giving me any power at all about a week ago. I took the opportunity to buy some Juintech hybrid cable/hydro brakes with new discs as a treat for the old girl. Brakes fitted and just tightening up the bolts on the rear disc and I notice the hub seal has gone on the disc side, no doubt liberally spraying disc and pad with grease which would clearly explain the recent disappearance of braking performance at that end of the bike. So far, so irritating.
I store my bike, out of necessity, on a front wheel up wall mount in my conservatory. In the recent hot weather it has been absolutely sweltering in there at points before the temperature dropping steeply after dark. Sounds like bad conditions in which to be a sealed hub unit, doesn't it?
Does anyone have experience with this and know of any tips, complete or marginal, to help lower the stress on those hubs (I'm scared to check my suspension fork)? Would a cover of any kind help? Would it need to be insulated?
