mista-neos Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 I think they have been broke for 4 months, because me and a friend took it to a off road track and the bike got caped in mud. So i think muddy water and grime have got stuck in my rear slaves and its stoping the pistons moving to there full power, and i also think this is jaming my TPAs to. Can any one help me with what to do please.Many thanks Blake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 With the slaves I would take the wheel and pads out, either pull the pistons out with some pliers on the bobble (carefully) or push them out with the lever and thoroughly clean around the seal and brake recess with an old toothbrush and some paraffin or similar. Once they are clean then drop a bit on oil onto the outside of the piston and into the seal and work the brake back and forward a few times, clean up the excess oil and put it all back together.If you have a water bleed you need to lubricate the pistons in the same way occasionally to stop you get lazy slaves.I dunno about the TPA, I use an RB lever which doesnt have the crap maggie TPA. They are known to be fragile though so take it apart, clean and lube it and see if it works; if not replace it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
