    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    normally i wash the bike down after a ride if it gets filthy, it lives in a heated garage (!!!!) so the sea air isnt a problem. for some reason i didnt clean it after a ride and the calipers are in **** state!

    At £24 pound it is cheaper than the shops will charge a possibly the same stuff they use.
