Stuck Disc Brake Pad {Photo}

[Mr Graphic]

Second time the pad froze to the disc. Anyone ever have this happen? Remedies? Thanks in advance!

You are obviously riding too fast and endangering your life and others. My suggestion would be to box that bike up immediately and send her out here to southern California! This will solve your problem. I am only thinking of your safety!LOL:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Sorry I do not have a better answer for the disk brake issue?

It looks like the pad picked up paint. This caused it to stick to the disk. I'd clean off the paint and the pad with acetone.

Good call Rob :thumbsup: looks like they painted the rotor :doah:

Not sure if the disc was painted, but it does have what appears to be a decent amount of brake pad residue built up on it.

Thanks Rob, I'll do that.

Cleaned up the pad residue off the brake disc, then dis-assembled & cleaned the entire assembly. I'm going to use different pads. The black ones are leaving all that residue which seems to be why the pads get stuck.
