sam11189 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 hope everyones well, i noticed my front pads on my left side front caliper were rubbing on the disc, jacked the bike up and i get a 1.5 turns of the wheel, using reasonable force with my arms. ive already rebuilt the caliper in question, new seals, fresh brake fluid, system bled, brakes work great. no brake judder or pulsing, brake discs seem in fair condition.whats peoples thoughts, is it quite normal? i feel like there is more friction there than there should be. cheere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbob Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Check the temperature of the calliper after riding as far as possible without using the front brakes . This is just to make sure it's not getting dangerously hot which can sometimes cause a calliper to seize on at the worst possible moment .

Ian Frog Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I agree with [mention]fastbob[/mention] some dragging is perfectly normal and if you have recently serviced these components it`s not a surprise especially if you are comparing it to the other caliper and you haven`t given that one the same attention.A brief ride using rear brakes (Lol good luck with that !) then temp check caliper is the way to go.CheersIan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 1.5 turns is pretty good seems normal to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
