Re: Front Brake Lever Problem Fixed - Brake pads touching !!!

Thanks again to all but as i said it did not come to my pin head. As adrianinflorida said i went for a ride without using the front brakes and they were at normal temperature - not even warm and than i used just a little and they were warm and i was surprised that just a little touch of pads at 35mph made them real warm. After a long ride and use i checked again and they were real warm not scorching hot. this time i was riding about sun down. In the previous post when i reported that they were hot it was day time around 2pm and the day was hot.

As Easy suggested I have done that also, spinning the front wheel. The wheel does spin for a short while and stops and i can feel that brakes are touching.

The dear dealer is the last resort anyway but when i find time.

But for now i have peace of mind.
