    Sounds like you're hooked. Check the pads, they could be glazed. I totaled pads and discs at Sylvan Lake once. Flush and bleed brakes.

    It's a measure of the civility in this country that no ones seems to fear constantly pissing off the people who own lots of guns.

    I replaced the front pads last weekend so I hope they aren't glazed, i'll either replace the rear pads, or hit Lex up about his Hayes hydros (I know I keep saying that).

    I'm sure they're fine then. In my experience some discs are sensitive to pad type. Mine work best with organic pads.

    Could be the case with mine, I bought metallic only because they were out of organic and I didn't want to drive to save four dollars. I should really just take it in for a tune and once over, but I really prefer to tinker on my own stuff.

    I too hate paying someone to do something I can handle. I tend to defer to an expert on my bicycles. I can replace parts, but nothing beats a professional tune. Plus you can go back and get it adjusted if it isn't prefect. (And vehicle transmissions, I always let someone else do those.)

    So far the parts I've replaced were simple, but I think you may be onto something with the professional tune.

    Hydraulic brakes are worth every penny , you'll never go back to cable brakes

    Where are you guys taking your bikes for service? My ancient Fox Vanilla R needs to be replaced and the Rock Shock Tora fork needs a rebuild.

    It's been years since I lived in Paker, I had good luck taking my bike to Treads location in englewood, never got to try the Parker location. For the shock service, there are some excellent videos online if you have all the tools (torque wrench, 24mm socket, snap ring pliers). You can order service kits on Amazon.
