What lubricant do you use on brake cams?
I have tried everything and still don't get a full return to zero position (non drag) on the rear brake. I have tried permatex green disk brake lube, white moly grease, antiseize and plain oil and nothing is slippery enough.
Perhaps it's time for new brake cams and buttons or new springs although they seem pretty strong?
The original brake cams are a little pitted but smooth. I have even tried flipping them 180 degrees to the newer ramp side, without success.
