Damn Brakes!!!!!

There is a slight chance if you leave them rubbing they will glaze up too (get all shiney and not work)
If so take to them with some sandpaper.

Not sandpaper cobber! It leaves grit in the pads which trowls the disk surfaces badly. A stiff wire brush is best!

Don't know if this will help but the pistons in the tokicos can get stuck out sometimes, as in when you release the lever the pistons don't move back at all and that side ramains in contact with the disc. Happened to me. Outer pad ok, inner pad not there. When I changed the pads hit the caliper with some cleaner, all sorted.

Thanks, will add CRC to my list. Hopefully will have it sorted tonight.

Uh uh. Brake clean, and Hi-temp Brake Grease is what you will need to unsieze a piston. Or go out and give it a caning and let the heat from the brakes do it's magic. Works a treat on old bikes all the time!

Hey Strika old mate, I say Marty, i have a wire brush here but it's a little flopity. Could you come see if you could make it hard???

Sorry no more hi-jacking. Just in an overly good mood

I think the heat did the trick. Was stinkin hot after work on Friday and it felt fine riding how. I ended bleeding the brakes on Saturday and it all feels fine now. Thanks for all your advice.

as Marty sez.....not with sandpaper
do what brake mechanics do with glazed pads
....find some flat concrete like on your driveway
.... and give 'em a rub
works a treat

Besides brakes just slow you down and ..... oops look out for that drain... *crunch* .....sigh....
