My rear nearside brake is slighly sticking on & I can't get it to fully release :biggrin:
I've just had it all off this morning, cleaned, re-lubed & it's still no better. Any ideas? Am I overlooking something simple? :biggrin:

The bikes a Spesh Tricross if that makes any difference.

TIA

Straddle wire pulling too much to one side ? Tension adjuster screws need doing...should be one on each canti.

The brake block's not catching on the rim lip is it ?

Is it the brake that is sticking, the lever that is sticking or the cable that is sticking?

It's the brake caliper that is not 'springing' back to the release position.

Frame's not corroded (only 5 months old)
Tension adjuster screws not having any effect :bicycle:
Brake block not catching on rim lip.
Wire pulling possible, but can't see anyway to adjust this :biggrin:
