here's my situation, one time during riding, my rear brake locked up so bad that the rear rotor started to glow red. So i thought that there was air in the line. I bled the line with new brake fluid and also replaced the brake pin.
The next time out, it happened again, but not after a good 10 minutes of riding. Now i still wasn't sure what was causing this and i thought that i might not have bled it right or that my foot was resting on the rear brake peddle and dragging the brake.
This time i took the caliper off and greased everything up. I greased the brake pin and pumped the caliper all the way out, covered it in grease, and bled it back in(i did this several times).
Now, i'm sure that i bled the line right, and i know the brake pin is not holding things up. It still locks up after i ride for a while, but now i bring a wrench and crack the bleeder valve when it locks up and it will be fine for a little while after.
I'm thinking that i need to rebuild the caliper. I ride 95% of the time in sand, and i think that i got some in the caliper. Do you think that i need to rebuild the caliper and if so do you know where i can get a rebuild kit?
