ok. my rear magura is being annoying at the moment. when i pull the brake lever and then let go one of the pads doesnt want to return. i can push it back by hand but its annoying and makes an awfull sound when i am riding along. i have loosened tpa right off and i dont use tar etc. what else can i do to make the pad return? cheers guys

sounds like a sticky piston. It might not work but id take it off the bike, Then take the pad out and squeeze the lever now clean the exposed part and then re-lube it use some thin oil.

Yeah, try that, but watch out, you can get the oil on your pads when you put them back in, so maybe use some WD40 to lube it?

Undo the tpa right off so that the backings on the pads are both resting against the calipers. Then undo your brake clamps and set them up closer to the rim, the more ajustmant you have on your tpa the worse the lazy piston is.

When my pads dont return all i do is undo the little alenkey bolt (which you bleed it thought) and then push the pads back until they dont go back no more, a little fulid should come out, but it always works for me.

P.s. ownly undo the bolt a bit, about 1 to 2 turns.
