check your fluid?

also check the calipers for wear. might need some wd-40.

I've had that happen before. They do that if you do alot of slow/brake stuff and dont keep em clean. Take the caliper off and take it apart. Pull the pistons out, clean em and put em back together. Its boring work, but easy.
