I can spray it down again but at what point does this begin to be a waste of time or possible damage the front brake system? I'm careful to minimize the over spray.
What if I sprayed, while moving the bike, engaged the brake a few times. Then repeated this?
I hesitate in messing with the brakes since I'm not a mechanic. Thanks for any idea's.
I had the same 'squeeling' problem. Fixed it in about a minute. Loosened the calliper, moved it just a tad and tightened it up again. No more squeeling from that break. Give it a try.
