my buddy has a 05 troy lee pred. the front wheels are grabbing real bad when you spin them. we tore them apart and cleaned them and bled them same thing. you can pry the brakes apart by hand and the wheel spins free, but once you apply the hand brake the start to grab again. you guys have any ideas?

PROBLEM MAY BE IN THE MASTER CYLINDER. ITS ALLOWING PRESSURE TO BE APPLIED, BUT NOT RELEASED.

I have heard that there is too small of a hole, leading into the line. Which results in not enough release back into the MC. It is a common problem on Predators. Damn MC is even made by Wilwood.
Several people have installed small springs in between the pads. But you gotta be sure it isn't too much spring, or you'll have to pump them.
Others have just swapped it out for a 450R MC, but you have to change out somethings at the spindle/brakes.
