Folks,

I have recently had probs with a piston in a set of Juicy 5's that wont fully retract...

I bleed some fluid to help increase the gap, and always ensure (yeh, right) that I remove the pad prior to applying anything.

Just wondering what people use for lubrication??

I used a little bit of silicon spray in a syringe just around the pistons, which helped, but I am worried that it may attract dust (I am in the NW)

Ideas??

Ps. And no I will not be buying a set of brakes from other reputable brands in the interim, so don't type it!
