No, like more seized than that lol. I was pushing the bike and the front wheel was just skidding as i was pushing.

Blimy that sounds dodgy! I know that corrotion can set in under the dust seals thus pushing the seals out And seizing up the pistons but for it to make the wheel skid sounds weird, usually it just binds a bit.

Nope, fully seized Sad I'm suspisious that my mate has done it as he had a quick go whilst i was inside and was all over the place but can't see how he's caused the brakes to seize?

Fuck knows lol, the brake lever ain't stuck is it? For it to just happen like that I doubt it's the usuall corrotion story. How olds the brake fluid in it?

I've heard of the brake lines freezing when moisture gets in so might have to add new fluid, could be since 2005. I only bought the bike in November.

Yeah I was thinking about it freezing but not sure if that would make me look daft, brake fluid will take in moisture over the years and loose its consistency, if its a healthy wee wee colour then it's prob alright but if it looks like a piss after a heavy night on the booze then it needs changing.
