Front Brake???

What causes the front brakes to pull too one side?
I crashed last weekend trying a seatstander coaster and after that when i grab my front brakes they pull hard right.....I bled them and took them off to see if they where both working and they still do it.

Any ideas?

Re: Front Brake???

even if you take one of your calipers off it will still brake straight, think about how many smaller bikes only come with single sided brakes.

Most likely you twisted your front end a little bit, meaning your forks are twisted a little bit in the triples. Loosen your axle pinch bolts and triples with the front of the bike in the air to fix it.

hope that helps

Cool ill go home and try that....Thats what was confusing me because i was thinking even if one side worked it should still not pull one way or another.

thanks for the help Bro.
