All disc brakes do that from time to time, including my Poprad. I'm surprised this is the first time you've experienced it.
Hmmm, so cleaning won't fix it... I sometimes will "pulse" the brakes a...

I did about a 40 mile stretch in the middle as an out and back a few years ago and I can attest to the beauty of this trail. I saw lots of wildlife including a moose. Quite remote so bring...

I've logged thousands of miles on Specialized Armadillos. The only flats I've had were on very well worn tires. Though their cornering is not the best, they roll fast and true. I bet if you combined...
