172 Cup locking a wheel

[Davis]

i have just fitted new front discs and pad to my 172 cup, but now my front passenger side locks up under hard braking, not really hard braking just firm braking, but my drivers side does not lock up?

what could be the cause of this?

thoughs welcome

thanks

did you bleed them after? are they standard discs/pads?

 

[Davis]

they are standard discs and pads! i did bleed them but not all they way through! you think bleeding the whole system could help?

 

[regi james]

i take it you have the same quality of tyre on both front wheels. could be air in the one thats not locking up or could be a siezed caliper

 

[Fred@BTM]

they do that a bit anyway due to the weight distribution

 

[Davis]

I've changed my caliper as that's what I though it was, tyre both have good tread aswell!

 

[Fred@BTM]

try it again with a fat mate in the passenger seat, £5 says it doesn't do it

Ill give it a go and see!

Cheers for your help
