Jake. Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 My front brake is working but... Its kinda hard to explain this.When I release my brake, the brake lever doesn't go all the way back to its original spot and ends up keeping the brake on....That makes sense? Please help, Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey-uk Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 From what i've seen it could be sticky pistons. I think there's a topic in the wiki on how to fix this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdmackay Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Cable, v brakes, non hydraulics Sorry I didnt mention this.The calliper isn't fully returning because you need to tighten the spring tension.The two wee bolts that stick out of each arm, keep tightening each on evenly until the lever comes all the way back.

Ben John-Hynes Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Best thing to do would be to clean your calipers, take them off the bike, clean the springs and all that shit. Put them back on and play with the tension, as mentioned above! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
