NC30 front brake binding

[Gadget]

Have you checked that the brake lever free play adjuster is not screwed out too far?

Have you checked that the clutch lever free play adjuster is not screwed out too far?

The clutch is fine, I have tested the brake binding with my bike on my ABBA stand with my Dad standing on the back wheel and me trying to rotate the front.

I have re-bled the brakes and anything I can think of, all seems to be pointing towards the calipers, which I will be dealing with on tuesday/wednesday.

Thanks for the input though

my bad...i meant brake lever free play adjuster

[bikemonkey]

I didn't know there was one?

It's that big knurled washer on the brake lever.....if it's screwed out too far the brakes won't release properly.

I'll take a look, won't be til later though, off to work now. Damn retail job.

you can use a 10mm 6 point socket on the torx to split the calipers...

A 10mm hex socket?





Took a picture of my brake lever and master cylinder etc, can't see a big knurled washer myself :/
