Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Pickwick Rd. Coffee on your way to buy building supplies. And new and interesting ways to spend your leftover cash. We're still getting a few things tidied up, but we'll be getting onto here with some promo stuff in the next month or so, don't worry...Sorry man, dunno where I got Prestwich from..
Skott5 Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Had this problem with mine, but they gave me a brand new warranty set
JasonS Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 So I have a set of Guide RS. About a year old. I just had the exact same issue with the rear grabbing. I had them bled and no problem since. So far so good about 3 weeks later and still feeling good.
NickGM Posted January 26, 2017 Author Posted January 26, 2017 Just as an update to this - brakes were sorted out under warranty so Kudos to SRAM and Cape Cycle systems (I think?) for doing so with minimal fuss.
V12man Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Just as an update to this - brakes were sorted out under warranty so Kudos to SRAM and Cape Cycle systems (I think?) for doing so with minimal fuss. Did the replace the whole levers or just the internals?
NickGM Posted January 26, 2017 Author Posted January 26, 2017 Did the replace the whole levers or just the internals?The whole lever. If I'm honest they were upgraded to RSC. I suspect a few people will probably try to take advantage of that. "Yeah my brakes aren't working either, can I also get some better ones?" Hopefully that doesn't happen though, it's the sort of behaviour that make companies really cagey about warranties.
Fr33rider Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 My guides are also on their way down to Cape cycle systems, in the recent heat my levers stuck on nearly every ride, next morning they were back in the normal position again. Sent from my Nokia 6310i
NickGM Posted January 26, 2017 Author Posted January 26, 2017 this thread has matured enough... Buy Shimano!Ahem - read the last paragraph of the first post.
Meezo Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Ahem - read the last paragraph of the first post. ok it hasn't matured(read opposite) enough
Chavo Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Just as an update to this - brakes were sorted out under warranty so Kudos to SRAM and Cape Cycle systems (I think?) for doing so with minimal fuss. Kudos to Cape Cycle Systems! I bled my brakes following the sticky ordeal and that seems to have sorted the issue for me. I haven't really been out in the same heat I first experienced the issue in, but for now it seems to be sorted. Time will tell...
capediver Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 Yup. Got 3 sets in the shop this week for the same issue. The tolerance between the piston and the lever bore somehow goes for a loop when the lever gets too hot and the piston jams. Lever rebuild should sort it out, otherwise we've successfully modded a set by skimming about 0.1mm off the piston bushes before reinstalling.Seen this reported elsewhere...@2:16 Damn, was looking forward to getting some...France and long descents is on the horizon...my Trails did OK first season but last one, they were dodge as F*ck...got rock hard after a few minutes down Pleney...

capediver Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 Hope for what? Salvation, Tokai full time, a good deal on SRAM Guide Ultimates? Com'on Myles, you need to be more specific!
michaelbiker Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 This happened to me too on my RSC back brake. It's really, really annoying considering how expensive these brakes are. The problem goes away in cooler weather so it seems to be a tolerance issue and fairly common after researching it online. If they are out of warranty and you aren't afraid of screwdrivers and snap rings it looks like the fix is fairly straightforward.
