Dragging pads
I just put some new break pads and fluid in my Hayes 9 (front brakes) on thursday last week. I rode about 100km on the weekend and midway through my race (BYBF) i noticed that they were starting to constantly drag. Nothing major but i know that they're not meant to rub at all with the disc.
The disc isn't warped, the front caliper is in seemingly good condition and i just gave my bike a thorough cleaning but the rubbing sound is still persisting.
Any suggestions?
Bleeds & more
Ah... more work on the bikes. Brake bleed front & rear for Rush & Pratiwi's Trek. Wow - what a difference, especially to hers. Should have see the cr@p that came out of the front line on the Rush! I suspect it needs a new one (brake line that is), or maybe some seals. Anyhow - let's see how it holds up.
New rear pads for the Rush too. It's been in need of a new BB for a while, this will happen later today or tomorrow, depending on how much in need of a snooze I am after lunch
