tomb Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 when i went out on my bike today, my hydrolic brakes became very stiff and stuck on, but it was very cold. When my bike warmed up the brakes went back to normal,is this normal to happen ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Is your bike second hand? The brakes might be water-bled, so maybe they started to ice up inside. It's not going to break your bike, but you could rebleed it with antifreeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
