wilwood caliper drag

[Alex Denysenko]

Basically rebuild the calipers.
Replace the piston seals and scotch bright the caliper bores.
Good as new afterwards.
We service ours this way every spring.
Takes about 4-5 hours including the bleeding.
We carry the seals in stock by the way.

Yeppers X2....

In addition, if you want real issues run it that way.....drag, heat , expansion, more drag, warping of rotors.....

Ive had 2 nearly fatal bike wrecks because of dragging calipers......it only takes a hair before the cycle starts and on a bike when that dragging wheel hits the marbles its all over.

PLUS if one drags more than the other.....well....turning without steering when stopping is always a good cardiac health test

Yeah......GOOD Advice Alex.....

The alloy has a dielectric reaction albeit mild in the case of aluminum and steel .... and well.....good advice....nuff said.

Also IF for some reason that dosent fix it , look into debris in the lines or the master cyl, I once had a piece of hard chrome that had flaked off a piston and worked its way back up the line over time and it was acting like a flapper valve to a small degree but enough to cause drag and start the cycle....and in my case, flip the cycle
