[Closed] Weird bb7 brake issue.

Rode to the pool earlier and the back brake lever pulled straight to the bar. I hop off, wind in the cable adjuster and off I pootle. Braking is all fine.

On the way back from the pool, cycling down hill, all of a sudden my back brake locked on as I skid to a halt. This is rectified by unwinding the cable adjuster I wound out to the original setting and normal braking resumes.

So other than being haunted, wtf is up with the brake? I can't seem to get my head around what could be causing it.

I found my heel clipped the rear adjuster when pedaling, causing the brake to eventually stick on, had to get different calipers in the end.
