Hello 🙂
More woe's with these troublesome brakes. One of the pistons in my rear calliper is sticking.
I've tried cleaning with IPA then adding a pin prick of mineral oil but its keeps sticking when I reset all four and pull on the lever. Think I need to rebuild it?? Thanks for any replies!

Not clear if you exposed the sticky poison and then cleaned and lubed it? Or cleaned it in situ? <br /><br />If you’ve not exposed it then use a block or zip tie or combination of to block the well working pistons so the sticky one comes out then give it a good clean and lube.

Thanks for the reply! Yup, thats done now. Took several attempts to coax it out but its better now. Surprised at the amount of corrosion on these one year old callipers 🙂
