   A  A  A Very recently noticed the left front brake is late to apply and
   late
   A  A to
   A  A  A release, causing significant swerving.
   A  A  A Was thinking it might "limber up" with additional driving, now
   A  A  A wondering if more driving will only make it worse.
   A  A  A Got to Alameda and back + San Ramon and back earlier, both ~100
   mile
   A  A  A round trips, no issue.A  This started after that.
   A  A  A Am signed up for a multi-hundred mile event on the first, been
   too
   A  A cold
   A  A  A and rainy to do any tinkering.A  So maybe I get stranded with a
   locked
   A  A  A wheel.A  Or the problem just goes away.
   A  A  A Thoughts, predictions, experience ?
   A  A  A Thanks,
   A  A  A GD
