psycholist Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hold the brake block on the piston that's not lazy against the rim and pump the brake to force the lazy piston to move. If it's only slightly stiff that can often be enough to sort it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Wheel out, pads off, put something across the front of the 'good' piston to stop it moving, then squeeze the brake lever. Spray some lube onto the piston that's being slow, then pump the lever a few times. Wipe off any crap that comes off on the piston, and repeat a couple of times. That usually sorts it.Alternatively, you might just be using a load of TPA adjustment, which tends to have almost the same effect. Cleaning the pistons is always a sound idea though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
