Went to move my bike yesterday, and the front two brakes are locked up? Last time I rode it was fine.. Just the front two are locked up, the rear is fine.. Ive bled both front calipers went over everything for 2 days now!!! cant figure it out and im leaving for Tenn. this wed. for my sisters wedding and was gonna ride Coal Creek Sad

If Anyone Has Any Ideas Ide Appreciate it.

Thanks

 

When you bleed the calipers did they release? Where are you coming to in TN?

 

Maybe the pads are rusted to the rotors. Did you try to pull it to make it move?

 

did you try to use a "c" clamp to push the pads back in? did the block lock get struck on when you parked it. nto sure my self, but is there a check valve or a block in the line that is messed up? just some idears. seems weird to have them rust up in 2 days but anything is possiable. i didnt think their was any place to ride wheelers in northport.

 

Im coming to gatlinburg..

The Bleeding didnt release the piston so its obviously not the lines.. i took the calipers apart and blew air through the lines backwards and reassembled and bled.. still locking up.. ??? I think its the two pins that are on the assembley that the pads go onto.. it seems the pins are loose in the holes in the caliper. that looks like it makes the piston come out at an angle then gets wedged and doesnt come back in.. does that make sense???

I love this forum, such quick responses,..

thanks so far.

how long do they ride ya and what do they get for it?

 

i paid for an hour but we rode for an hour and 45 min im not sure what i had paid but i know i loved it they had trailboss's when i was there

 

Did you get it fixed bugman?

Bring it on up here and I'll help you fix it. I live about an hour and a half from gatlinburg. We are going ridin up at the TN/NC line Saturday and your welcome to come.

 

It seems like the 2 pins that slide in and out of the caliper housing are jaming and making the piston come out crooked. that makes the piston jam up, so it looks like new calipers or ill modify the old ones..

Thanks
