Avid Bb7

Ok, I pull the lever in and basically when I let go the BB7 caliper itself doesn't return back to its original position so I get slack in the lever. Anyone know what it could be? Its rather annoying and would like to fix it but because Im a spazz I don't know how to.

Sounds like it needs a clean and lube...

make sure you havnt bent the arm and its not catching anything.

try winding on some spring tension and see if that helps.

Make sure that when the caliper arm has returned, its not bottoming out, if it is, pull more cable through the pinch bolt and undo the red dial a couple of turns.

make sure the cable is lubed and isnt kinked in any places
