seaine Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Hi,I was out riding today and the lever just pulled right back to the bar.i don't know if it could be the tpa stripped or a sticky piston.the brake still bites when the lever is pulled to the bar . Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty007 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I would go for a fresh bleed first as it sound like it has air in the system. sticky piston wouldn't behave like that I don't think ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaine Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 It's the first ride after a fresh bleed and I just took off the tpa and the is a few stripped threads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty007 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 ummm and there isn't any seals gone within the brake lever itself or the piston seals ! Wont of thought the tpa would have any affect on the brake performance as it has no seals for fluid to escape from. if it were me id remove the brake and test for leaks in water as oil will float apart from that im stumped !!!!
