potatobroxd Posted May 13, 2022 Posted May 13, 2022 Noticed that my bike's rear brake takes noticeable longer to engage (e.g having to press down further for brake to start engaging). Havent ridden my bike for a while and only started having this problem. Also, if I pump the rear brakes harder and faster then it starts to engage earlier? Checked the fluid levels and theyre all topped up, any insights on what this could be? Quote
Stu Posted May 13, 2022 Posted May 13, 2022 Could either be air in the lines or sticking piston/s or slides I would first bleed the brake and run new fluid all the way through and while you are at it remove the caliper and pump the piston/s out a bit and clean them up also clean and grease the slides If this doesn't work then chances are its time for a full rebuild with seals on either the caliper or master cylinder 1 1 Quote
