I think I found my problem.R/H brake caliper dragging more so when warmer.I adjusted steering pins per manual no change.Flushed and bled brakes no change.Removed and disassembled R/H caliper found two o-rings were there should only be one.The second o-ring looks like it is slightly blocking the hole.Probably more so when both caliper halves are together and torqued.I am the second owner and purchased the Argo about a month ago.Photo attached.
Congratulations. Many many people would not have found that!Originally Posted by 01argo
Thanks,Just waiting for my new o-ring kit to put back together.It appears that this may have been this way from the factory by how the allen screws where seized on the caliper halfs and the brake pads appear to be original.Congratulations. Many many people would not have found that!
I hope that's all it turns out to be. I'm curious and can't wait for you to get it back together, I'll honestly be surprised if that turns out to be source of your problem.
Yeah,hopefully that fixes it.My theory is the hole that channels the brake fluid is being restricted not allowing the brake fluid to fully return when brake pressure is released.
Update.Had the Argo out for the day after changing the O rings on the R/ H caliper.I can report back that all is well.No more brake drag.Its amazing how things work when they are assembled correctly.lol.
Congratulations.
Thanks!
good news, congrats!
Do you believe it was the small oring or did you do the ones on the pistons as well?
My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
Joe Camel never does that.
