My SRAM XO Trail brake, rear caliper is stuck on.The pads are also worn down to a couple of microns thick.
I am thinking perhaps the pistons are simply extending too far and won't retract properly. I tried opening the bleed port and gave the lever a squeeze to remove any excess oil. I prized the pads apart and the wheel was spinning freely. I then reapplied the brake and the pads did not retract again.
I have new pads on the way but does anyone know if this happens when the pads are too thin?
