Joe_Kearney Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 (edited) Either take it back there and get them to do it again or have a go at aligning the wheel yourself. I may be wrong but with the wheel being bashed around the wheel may have gone wonky causing slight rubbage. Give it a go Edited March 11, 2006 by Joe_Kearney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffacakes Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Try geting a screw driver then reseting the pistons with it then just go ride and the pistons will adjust then selves to a good postition so they don't rub (hopefully).This might sort out your problem or it might not. It's worth a try though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should sort it, if not take it back to the shop and have them do it again. Edited March 12, 2006 by the judge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shovel Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 i'm pretty sure someone has mentioned before that hope make a silicon based lube that you apply to the pistons which will prevent them from sticking as muchbasically you take the wheel out, put a large flat blade screwdriver between the bads and then pumpt the lever to bring the pads together, apply the lube to the exposed area of the pistons, reset the pads back with the screwdriver and that should be it!

Ashley Smith Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 for sticky pistons...........use a silicone based lube or even brake fluid to make the brake work sweeter, it lubricates the dry seals, make sure to take your pads out thoughash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
