Hi have a ford mondeo having problems with my front brakes when braking the peddle seems to be jumpping back up and i can hear a clonking noise sounds like something lose

I think you may have a cracked brake rotor. Please take it to a reputable shop where they repair brakes. Fortunately, brake rotors are cheap these days.

Hi there, i have bought a used bike with Avid Juicy ultimate brakes. the back brake was sticking, so I took it completely apart cleaned the pistons, and reassembled with new oil and bled system. the brakes...

If you already overhauled the caliper, I would overhaul the lever as well. In fact, I usually overhaul the entire system instead of one or the other. As for the chattering sound, it sounds like the rotor is catching the edge of one of the brake pads. Check to see if the pads are retracting fully or see if the pads are loose in the caliper.

I bought avid juicy ultimate front and rear brake set no upper clamp to secure brake to handlebar, match maker setup was used. How or where do I find oem clamp?

I am assuming you are looking for the clamp portion of the brake lever.

If you do a google search for the following you can find several options on-line, or go into your local bike shop and have them order for you, they may even have in stock if they do alot of work with Hydraulic brakes.

Search: Avid Juicy Brake Lever Clamp or Avid Hydraulic lever clamp.

Here is a link as an example of a result.

Jammed Avid Juicy 5 brake piston

Sounds like you need to strip down the caliper and clean it out im afraid. How about trying a LBS?

(usually its caused by a dry seal and the piston has to be forced out by putting an air line onto the caliper bleed nipple and blasting air into it to force it out - *be careful if trying this!!**)

Avid juicy ultimate, rear disc brake vibration and noise

It is a lose bolt somewhere, OR somebody has touched your rotor with their hands OR there is oil in the pads.

Check ALL your bolts for correct torque, buy new pads and Rubbing Alcohol and install them AFTER you clean off the rotor and your hands with the Rubbing Alcohol. TRY not to touch the rotor or the pads with your hands.

Brakes have lost all power after changing the pads

pads and rotors wear together. if you dont replace the rotor along with the pads, the pads wont have complete contact the rotor and will not have the stopping power they should.

Bought a set of avid juicy seven ultimate brakes,i squeezed the brake lever and now the pads are shut tight how do i slacken them off again!

take the wheel out insert a very large flat bladed screw driver up into where the rotor would sit and lever the pads back in very gently with the screw driver.

if this does not shift them they will need re-built by a Sram bike shop.
