Andrew, I was wrong and you were correct to a certain extent. Talking to Chris Robinson yesterday he told me that the calipers on my brakes had been recalled by Shimano and that was the problem. He is taking care of it. He said that he has a Frenchtool for refacing the flats which is difficult to come by. He was too busy to question but I assume it is VAR. He said that neither Shimano or Park tools put the flats in the same plane but the French tool does.
He said that he will have the components in next week and the brakes working shortly thereafter.seatpost will work better.
The seat post components that I ordered Wednesday are coming in today and the same saddle that I have on the DeRosa Merak which seems to perfectly fit my sit bones is due next week. This one will have steek rails rather than carbon fiber so the Time
Except for the BMC everything else is up for sale though thee is always the chance that I may keep the Basso Loto just for old time's sake.

Hmmmmm.
What is the Shimano part number on that? Something like
BR-R8170. I can't find any notice of any hydraulic caliper
recall by Shimano.

All I found is a mechanical disc brake caliper recall: <https://bike.shimano.com/en-NA/information/customer-services/corrective-actions/voluntary-recall---cx75-disc-brake-calipers-.html>
"Shimano Hydraulic Brake Recall" <https://www.google.com/search?q=shimano%20hydraulic%20brake%20recall>
If Google search can't find it, it doesn't exist.
Someone else please ask Tom for the maker and model of the bicycle and
brakes (both original and replacement). I'm too lazy to ask.

No, we told you that your claims of it being an issue with the brakes >themselves was likely wrong.

No, we'll agree that your mechanic managed to fix them.

I don't recall Jeff telling you or anyone else what your rides were like.

I also don't recall telling the group what Tom's rides were like.
However, it doesn't take much imagination to guess the highlights,
which were punctuated by various bicycle components failing or falling
off the bicycle at inconvenient times. Some of the rides involve
hidden dangers, like sinking into "deep mud": <https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1063064831504932&set=pb.100034042758783.-2207520000&type=3>
or dodging illegal alien drivers in stolen vehicles.
