Brake sticking
I pulled my front wheel and removed the bumper and reinstalled it and. Now my brakes seem to hang up sometimes I can pop the lever and they will release any ideas what I need to do I have lubed the slide pins and cleaned the mc out and added new fluid there but I did not bleed the system

Have you pinched a brakehose while doing the front wheel work ?
Have seen older brake hoses that have been twisted or pinched during work procedures that will partely flake off an internal piece of rubber inside the hose and effectively produce a one way valve inside the hose allowing pres. to the caliper and stopping return pres. back.
Try to follow back what you did with the wheel work and look for any possble way that this procedure has caused your problem now.

Sorry it has stainless lines from good ridge never has had a problem and I have changed pads a bunch of times all I did was pull calipers remOve wheel and bumper I did plasti dip the lower legs and reinstalled wheels and calipers and it has been crazy ever since but it doesn't stick every time
If your caliper pistons were dirty and you removed the caliper and by doing so pushed the pistons in a little further that the normal operating range they can hang up due to the gunk being pushed into the bore. Just a thought...
