    Rear brake Problem

    Well after riding it alittle today(20min) the rear caliper started to grab and not release(bike could still roll, but with resistance), Well I released them by releasing the presure at the caliper bleader, so i thought it was a bad brake line, but i got it to stick again and i was able to release the pressure by loosing the brake line at the master cylinder, so it seems to me like it might not be the brake line, can anyone tell me if it is the master or the line?

    thanks

    are you sure there is no rust on the springs and rods? I had to sand mine a bit to get them to release smoothly

      I would take the master cyl apart and clean it Fluid return could be blocked allowing the brake to drag

        I fixed my problem from what I read in another brake post,
        The rear brake lever adjustment bolt and the nut was gone, so it kept going down and tighting up my rear brakes so they were hard and binding.
        Once i loosened it up my brakes went free.

        Thanks
