Hi all, first post in a long time.
Got a problem with my disc brakes (Avid Juicy 7s, about 5 years old).
Basically, if I leave the bike without riding it for a reasonable period the calipers seem to seize up. Is this a problem anyone else has had? is it limited to Juicy7s, Avids or disc brakes in general?
The problem I've got now is that the wheels don't want to go back on, the caliper gap is too narrow. Tempted to use a screwdriver to force the piston open but got a feeling it'll end in tears.
Any help here would be appreciated, ta.
