well i rolled the bike out today and it sounded horrible...back brakes were like stuck and rubbing bad...and by the feel of the rotor its been like that for at least one day...nice grooves
i took it off..pads are worn
so i put it back together..pump the brake up..and bam rubbing again
what gives? its just 2 bolts and some pads in there....and the wheel is lined up perfectly

so till i get dis fixed..no riding for me
any help would be great
thanx

pads rub constanly.. but if its making a pulse sound while you are riding its cause ur rotor is warped. if u apply the brake n u feel the pulse through the brake lever its most def warp.

Bobby@BullyDog

yea i dont feel a pulse
found the prob though
damn caliper is sticking..im gonna hone it out and put new pads on tonight..should fix it

heres the things that can cause it to bind:

-caliper sliders frozen- use thick silicone lube on em
-caliper piston binding in bore-- see how well it pushes back with a clamp
-brake hose retaining pressure(like a one way check valve)-happens on cars all the time
-pedal not adjusted properly


good luck homie, i wanna see some pics that thing rockin

Bobby@BullyDog

well i figured it out
pads are really worn..so it wore down sideways..and when the caliper when to push on the pad..it went crooked trying to push the pad straight..so it would bind up and get stuck in the cylinder
i need a new rotor and new pads...anyone got a rotor lying around..mine is trash

Bobby@BullyDog
