I might pull the calipers off and try and work the caliper slides a bit they could be the culprit of the dragging as these brakes may be have lying around for a while. I got some pads with the brakes that are in there at the moment they look like a harder compound and the leading edges have been filed down a bit so looks like this /----\ dont think that would be causing it but thought i'd let you know. if the above stuff doesnt fix it ill try some new pads in there as well. Thanks guys [Updated on: Mon, 13 September 2004 23:21] [Report message to a moderator]
