The front brake seems like it is siezing because the lever is always very stiff and it feels like the brake is always on. I have tried a few things like bleeding the line to relieve pressure and checking to see if there is a bubble somewhere in the line but these only seem to be temporary fixes. If anyone has seen a similar problem and know how to fix it that would be great!    Report

It may be hard to see as it is very small and doesn't take much to clog it up. It has to be open to relieve the pressure when you let off the brake lever. A pin pushed down into the hole should open it. Don't stab your seal on the piston when you're doing that though.
