Took the 'Alpine' route to work today, over Mitake (minor Mt in Gifu, 500m high at the pass).
Slowed down for a light at the top, released brakes, still stopping? Had to reach forward to pull the calipers apart.
Garmin showing -1C, Shimano grease in cables. I had always used oil previously.
Lesson: check your lube will be fluid sub zero.
I got them working OK by pumping them, friction generating heat.
Bit of a fright.
