Hi guys, have found my rear brake is sticking, tried resetting the pads and caliper with little change. Tied up the brake lever overnight which solved it till you pull the brake again.
Does this sound like it needs a bleed? And anyone got a rough price I should be looking at, might get them to chop 6 inches off the brake line as well while they have it,
Cheers guys

Always painful chopping off 6 inches :o ...But it sounds like more than likely to be the caliper that is sticking than needing bleeding, take it into your local bike shop and they will diagnose and price it for you or have a word with NickTKS on here he is over at Tilbury....
