Dave Sutton Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Does this brake need bleeding or are the seals gone as i know they have reputation for doing so? However it could be water in there not sure? Does a brake do this when it needs bleeding that is all i want to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howvard Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Well if its not leeking then yer i would say give it a bleed. If the seals are gone, dont bother get it sorted first. SIMPLES 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Nope. I'd say that seal is buggered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 If it needs bleeding, when you pull the lever nothing will happen to the pads until you've compressed the air thats in there, then they'll move. If they move straight away, theres no air in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingviiins Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 At first use an air compressor to clean the tubes. then try to bleed the brake system. If that doesn't work then try to changhe the seals or the whole brakeing system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
