Re: #$@*! brakes still sticking !

[kevin f <aventari@detonate.net>]

when you put the calipers on, did you grease the sliding caliper bolt? and what did you use? anti-sieze is recommended sometimes, i've used it w/ good results, and i've also used synthetic grease w/ no problem.

Did you replace the rubber grommet thing w/ the teflon insert that the sliding caliper bolt slides in???  maybe the teflon insert is worn out or missing in your case.
other than that, i have NO idea. sounds wierd

GL!
