Hi , I seem to be having some problems with my brakes. I have the Hi spec brakes on a PR6. The bias knob is turned completely for fwd braking, yet the rear is still locking up. Is this normal or could I have another problem elsewhere?
Cheers guys

Check the actual bias bar is working - well known for seizing up if not kept well lubed. And only utilise the adjustment with the brakes off.

Have a good look at the pedal box to make sure the threaded bar that you turn is not fouling on anything

what does this mean ? Adjust without pressing the brake?

hi Darcy, the bar actually makes a movement when you turn, it comes to a stop once it touches the side metal plate of accelerator. Well don't really know how to check the balance bar itself, Would it be a good thing to just change the balance bar straight away ?
Cheers

Yes, sorry for lack of clarity.
