Campag Chorus rear brake issue

ryvickers

Ladies and Gents.

I have recently swapped over to Campag (Chorus 11 sp) and currently have an issue with my rear brake sticking once the brake lever is pulled - doesn't return once the lever is released... only when done by hand, manually.

I recently changed the brake pads (from carbon rim to alloy rim) and all was working fine before. Given my limited knowledge on Campag, anyone have any suggestions apart from a U/S spring? Any adjustments you'd suggest?

Cable frayed, cable route, damaged/misaligned outer. Disconnect the cable and operate by hand, that'll give you an idea on the spring force. Use the lever and pull on the free end of the cable to see if that works.

Or just some gunk around the caliper pivots that gt85 would sort.

If the caliper is new, then it's down to cables - too tight bends, dirty inner cables. Try removing and cleaning the inners first, plus spraying some WD40/GT85 to flush out the outers
