Drove the Trooper up to the local trails to go biking today.

Tried to attach my front wheel when I got there & couldn't fit the disk through the brake shoes ... it's been so hot that the hydraulic fluid had expanded and was causing the brake to be closed.

Couldn't believe it ... managed to get round half the trail before giving up cause of the permanent squeal from the front wheel (kind of like when your handbrake's been left on).

Last time it was adjusted was autumn 2 years ago ... we haven't had any sun since then so it's always been okay?!?

Sounds like the piston is stuck or caliper sliders need a re grease.

This sort of heat shouldnt affect a cars braking system at all.

Yoshi:
Such crap weather up here!!

I mean who wants to drink real ale all afternoon whilst tending to the bbq and then finishing off the night with 3 litres of a nice zinfandel followed by half a ton of Jim Beam!

So as you can tell, this weather has been a total nightmare :-p lol

topless matt:
I was at cwm carn the other day and it was warm enough there to make my hydraulic brakes boil on the way down..... crazy business   :doh: :twisted:
Depending on the bike, id recomend the avid code 2009 brakes, my mates didnt boil, everyone elses hayes 9s did!

Drift:
