The front disc seized on and by the time I stopped the disc was glowing a bright red in the dark of the night and smoke was billowing from around the caliper. After about 15 minutes, the wheel could turn and very slowly I rode home only using the back brake.
When I used the brake at home the wheel would lock and the brake would only release over some minutes, unless I opened the bleed valve.
I changed the brake hose as I thought it might have collapsed but then had no pressure at the the lever.
I've changed the master cylinder but still no pressure.
I can bled the fluid through using a vacuum pump. but still can't get any pressure or a brake.
Can anyone identify the problem?
Is it the caliper or am I doing something wrong?
