Hi,
I went to ride my Giant XTC SE yesterday and discovered that the wheels wouldn’t spin.
They have Giant MPH disc brakes and I am not really sure what I am doing.
I tried opening the adjust knob on the brake fluid reservoir but it’s not turning very easily and the brake levers are very tight.
Can anyone think what I need to try and do to get them spinning?
Cheers,
Al

    well if it is the old ROOT (you dont say) that is what you need to do unless you want to give it a strip down and service. Maybe you could lets a little fluid out but that is not really fixing it.

    Sorry for the daft question but how do I let the brake fluid out?
