Front brake locked on

<< < (2/5) > >>

Bryanj:
There are two other possibilities:-

(1) the flexis are clollapsing internaly---Would not expect that to happen just standing

(2) the tiny return hole in the master is blocked, check for this by cracking the bleed nipple open and see if the wheel frees up.  This can be the cause after standing as most of us when we go to move a bike pull the lever on automatically

The reason we give our bikes girls names is that they take all your time and money, and still give you sh*t when you really don't need it! ;D

The bike ran well the last time I used it and initially it could be moved around in the garage without a problem.
Before I start spannering today what do I need to look out for ?
All advice gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your replies and advice.
I had a look at the bike this morning after a camping weekend away and applied a couple of drops of PlusGas to the top of the caliper pivot, prior to a strip down.
Success !
The brake eased off and I was able to give it a good run of 46 miles without any problems.
Let's hope this good weather lasts a bit longer !

Bryanj:
In that case you need to remove the pivot and clean thouroughly re assembling with copaslip
