Can you help ! My front brakes feel not as sharp as they used to. The pads are still ok even though the bike has done 11k.
I was wondering the following:-

Even though the pads are ok do they absorb stuff like wax and dirt etc, and changing them would make the difference.

On previous bikes I have had to clean and lubricate the caliper pistons.
If so clean with what, lubricate with what.

Any other sugestions !

Thanks R-L
