Binding brake: What happened there then..

[Ned Flanders]

Out around Wales on a ‘club’ ride this morning when the front nearside disc tried to spoil the fun. Braked coming up to a corner and exited it rather slower than expected. Had to ride a mile or so to find a safe place to stop and when I did found the front N/S disc was very hot when compared to the O/S disc. The wheel would spin easily, and applying the brake couldn’t provoke a repeat.
Carried on with the run, slowly at the back of the group, and very wary of using the front brake too hard. All seemed OK and arrived home safely.

Anyone suggest what happened?

Regards

Tim

sticky caliper m8 need to push the pisons in and out a bit to clear,

if the bike has been layed up for a while or on salty roads then they have a tendency to stick .
its dun it to me for a couple of times.
