This pass year I got a new bike with Avid Juicys. A few times this year when the bike was on the roof of my car for the day in 90 degree + weather, the brakes seized up. I know Kevin has said that has happened to him as well. Has this happened to anyone else? If so, any cures?

Hi Greg,

I don't know if I told you recently, but my brakes ended up ozzing DOT4 out of the master cylinders. They are in a plastic bag and really close to going into the trash...I have no idea if there is a rebuild kit available.

I was going to try put a really high performance automobile brake fluid with a high boiling temperature into them to combat the siezing, but they died before I could.
