Dragging rear brake
My rear brake drags. I use my front brake and when I stop and feel the discs my rear disc is quite warm and the front is cool. I have had to replace the rear pads, and will have to again soon. I have taken the brake off and pushed the caliper back in with a clamp a few times, but still goes on dragging. Has anyone else had this on their rear brake. What did you do to fix it. Thanks in advance.

Yep, been their. Did you clean the pistons, pad pins and lube them? Sounds like your pistons are not returning so your pads are still rubbing on the rotor.

I thought being a new bike things should be working right. Some times you don't think of the obvious, and after someone tells you, you think I should have known that. I'll pull things apart and clean them. Thanks again.
