Uly service and check up , as the bike was modified some for all day rideing, most screws where replaced for stainless by the customer, check caliper bolts if you used theme , over time ( 4 years and lots off km ) the screw where not very good anymore, replace theme before you pull out the threads in the caliper , you see the threads ware thin on the end making it sharp.
