i just dont know what happened...

so my buddy and i switched out my sprockets and chain last night...
its a fairly easy and fast task but after i get it all set on and put together
i roll out and my rear brakes dont work... they grab my rotor but wont release it when i let off the brake...

Re: i just dont know what happened...

If it was a piggy back system and you plugged your resevoir back in after taking off the handbrake you could have had a bubble in the line and it finally go to your master when you expanded / contracted the piston when changing the tire.

Re: i just dont know what happened...

thats exactly what is was...

i let air in when i took my hb off and it wasnt affecting my rear until i took off my caliper to switch the sprockets out and messed with my brake piston.

thanks for the help with the situation

brakes fine now...
