YES...because, the rubber breaks down from the inside causing blisters that restrict the flow of fluid to the caliper.
You have something wrong with the drivers side front brake. It is not working that's why it pulls to the right. Could be a bad rubber brake line that's not letting fluid through when brakes are applyed. A sticking brake cailber can cause this also. Pull front wheel and check things out.
Air being charged to the brake system. When you pull the brake valve, the air in those lines gets purged. When you release the brakes, it has to refill those lines and chambers.
air still in lines. rebleed
Long pull brakes have a longer cable pull distance compared to short pull brakes. This affects the amount of force needed to apply the brakes and the overall braking power. Long pull brakes provide more leverage and are better suited for larger tires or fenders, while short pull brakes are more responsive and better for smaller tires. The choice between the two depends on the specific needs and preferences of the rider.
Time for new brakes or adjustment.
Sounds like a brake problem. Need to pull wheels and check the brakes.
first check for contamination, pull master cylander cap off, if it has rubber underneath the cap and it's expanded or heavily distorted a petroleum product (such as oil) is in the system. the whole brake system will have to be redone, including brake hoses, mc, prop valve, height sensor, and any thing else rubber relatted in the system. also over adjusted rear brakes or over adjusted e brake can cause this. but check for contamination first this is a serious safety issue.
You have a problem with the brakes, have a mechanic check it out soon before you have no brakes.
Yes, applying the brakes on a bicycle should slow it down. Little squares of rubber are pressed to the metal rimming on the bicylce's wheel when you pull a handle brake, or pedal backwards (depends on if it's an adult bike or children's bike).
when you pull back on the reins.
Disc brakes and linear pull brakes differ in their mechanism and performance. Disc brakes provide better stopping power and perform well in wet conditions, while linear pull brakes are lighter and easier to maintain. The choice between the two depends on your biking needs. If you ride in challenging terrains or in wet weather, disc brakes may be more suitable. Linear pull brakes are a good option for casual riders or those looking for a lighter setup.
Side pull brakes offer several advantages over other types of brakes on bicycles. They are lightweight, easy to adjust, and provide good stopping power. Additionally, side pull brakes are typically more aerodynamic and offer better modulation, allowing for more precise control over braking.
