Hey guys , im having problems with the back brake, It started to squeak when freewheeling , the pads seem OK and I've replaced the cylinder kit but it still no good , it will lock up but you have to press it hard , I've had it into a garage and they did the cylinder repair so they bled the system and cleaned it all out but still no good , I've ordered some galfer pads but don't really know what else to do so any help would be good cheers fellas

Sticky piston in the calliper.. Pump them out clean them with fine emery.. And calliper, replace and BACK bleed the system

That sounds spot on matey I'm a bit of a amateur but I think I know what ya mean haha cheers fella ???

Yep I've heard the water trick somewhere before I'll give it a whirl cheers guys

The water trick works,don't know why

In other words bosh it till it works!

Do yourself a favour pal , strip it clean it , free it off and save yourself some more greif later on

Haha I've heard on here about the water thing it is something to do with some sort of chemical reaction that happens , but I will try cleaning it all out and back bleed it , hopefully do the trick cheers matey ??

the water boils turning to steam. It removes oil and grime in the process

First time I saw the water trick was when a former (Tommi)World Champion took a brand new bike out of the box. First thing he did after starting was the water trick. I have been using it ever since.
