RossMcd Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Sounds like you have your tpa all the way up causing the piston to max out. turn your tpa all the way down and rebleed. That should help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Baxter Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 When its this time of year your brake may freeze if you have a water bleed ? otherwise your pistons may be right up againts the sidewalls on your rim or your tpa wheel is wound too far out.Hope i have given you some ideas to think about and check XDAdam(Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-baby158 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 You have either stripped the threads on the TPA causing it to turn sideways *** then lever so it wont pull or if you have a water bleed and keep your bike somewhere its cold you have frozen your maggie.
