I got some trouble with my rear brakes that are chafing sometimes and sometimes not, so was looking for some support and found this site that is really great.
best regards from Hamburg
Giorgio

I just read this in a news story: “Williams' body was found stuffed in a bag in the bathroom of his apartment with no obvious signs of foul play.” Um, isn't his body being in a bag in the bathroom a pretty good indicator that something went wrong?
