Front brake lever action stiff
Posted: Thu Apr 21, 2011 8:53 am
The brakes on my NC30 work reasonably, but the lever action is not as light as others I have tried and the lever is sluggish to return, not coming back instantly with a click as normal.
I have cleaned the caliper pistons externally and they go back with hand pressure and the discs are not binding, the wheel spins freely.
I have cleaned and greased all the lever pivots and replaced the master cylinder seals, piston, spring and boot, but action is the same.
I will bleed them again, and perhaps remove caliper pistons and seals to clean properly, but the pistons retract OK now.
Any one had this problem before?
