Read my signatures below.

First of all, do the travel test I described to determine whether it's the caliper or cable/lever.

I prefer acetone (from hardware store, not nail polish remover) for cleaning rotors. Lastly (for me) if you've done everything you could reasonably do, consider the possibility, that MAYBE in this case bedding the pads may solve the issue, EVEN THOUGH YOU'VE NEVER HAD TO IN THE PAST.


BTW- a bit of life, not brake advice. Do not solicit advice, then explain why you're going to disregard it. Even if you are going to disregard it, don't say so.
