The front brake on my bike is extremely stiff, even before riding. I have tried bleeding the brakes, but this made no change. Thinking that I probably need to rebuild the calipers and perhaps the master cylinder, but thought I would get others thoughts.
Thanks!

If the lever at the master cylinder works easily when you open the bleeder at the caliper then I would think the problem is with the puck sticking in the caliper..........BG

Thanks for the info. Was thinking that it was probably the calipers.
