I have a Shimano calliper problem and I haven’t much experience with them as I’ve always been a Hope man.
We have a BR-RS805 calliper that I’ve been really struggling with trying to stop rotor drag, this is the road brake for anyone not familiar. The brake is only a couple of months old.
I took the pads out this morning as one of the pistons looked a bit lazy, and one side just won’t retract. I’ve taken it off and even without oil pressure in it, and with mechanical assistance (pad spreader tool) it still won’t retract. Is this a blown seal do we think? If so, is it repairable or is it a return for warranty job? It has good lever pressure prior to being removed, and didn’t appear to leak.
Thanks for any help offered.
