[QUOTE="David Trustrum, post: 647923, member: 21529"] cut & paste, all good: Okay first things first. Block the bike up & spin the wheel. Take the calliper off & do it again to check the difference so you have a feel for any other problems & what the drag of the chain is like (you can take the chain off if you like). How much pedal play is there? If misadjusted the master cylinder can’t return fully. Back it off so there is a lot of play as a test. Check the fluid reservoir cap vent is clean. Now I would be tempted to pump the pistons out of the calliper & clean them up + check that there is no crud behind them stopping the pistons going back fully. The pad pins may need replacing. The sliding shafts need greasing with copper hi temp stuff. My calliper was so sloppy it twisted a bit so I bushed on of those pins a bit. [/QUOTE]
