Hey guys~
I am going to be running a harescramble this weekend but my front brakes aren't working correctly. The right tire will lock up but the left tire keeps turning until I pull the lever to the handlebars. The pads are evenly worn on both sides. Do I just need to bleed the left side? Thanks for the replies and I hope I do good in my first race!

Sound like you have some air in that line all so check for a leak too.

I have found that air will somtimes get trapped in the calipers,some light tapping on the caliper then bleeding them again usually does the trick.

Also check for a bent rotor

Thanks for the quick replies guys. I'll try bleeding them tonight and let you know if that works or not.
