Both bikes use the same brakes with the same metal brake pads. The trail bike's pads have been fine all year (with some riding in the rainy/winter season here). After 7 months of not being used, I took the DH bike out last night to make a list of what I need to work on and the brakes howl...and this is just with cruising around slowly in circles.
I store my bikes in a secured storage locker in the basement of my building. I wonder if the moisture and humidity after a while make the brake pads go 'bad'. I know I could wait and see if my first run of the year will burn off whatever is on the pads and rotor but I figured I'd ask.
