I suspect that during road use, it would be a lot less of a problem as the
pads should last a good long time and there wouldn't be as many
opportunities for contamination, however I've been using 'Dez a lot lately
and putting it away dirty. I suspect that the globs of mud and crap that I
picked out of the pads have something to do with it.
I suspect SS pistons would be a very good way to deal with the problem.
