Too much brake fluid

The LBS serviced our two bikes at the end of last year (£80 each!! Never again)
They seem to have overfilled both bikes with brake fluid as we've been suffering from drag
however its not a permanent thing.... Its intermittent. Either bike can be fine for 90minutes. leave it outside a shop for 5 mins and the back wheel is locked solid.
Yesterday we rode for a couple of hours no problems...... drove the bikes home on a rack (30mins) and the Extralite rear wheel was locked solid with no play in the rear brake lever
Whats going on?

Mine are Juicy 5 and hers are Hope C20

To be honest, I'd get back on to the shop - if you pay for a service, you expect them to work better! Plus work does come with some guarantee.
The C2 though is a closed system and comes with a pad adjuster. It does need filling properly when bleeding though, so both could have been overfilled.0 -
Ah, end of last year lol.
I'd say rebleed then!0 -
On it.... cheers0
