Got my PX out of storage at the weekend and noticed that the front brake is sticking. A light 'dab' is fine, but any pressure greater than that and the lever sticks and there's a discernable drag on the front wheel. Remedies itself when you push the brake lever back into position. I'm sure this is an easy fix, but I've never had to adjust the brakes before, so thought I'd check with the experts first. Cheers

Disc brake? Drum brake?

It might just need a bit of tlc. cables, shoe pivots and brake arms all take a bit of stick.
A strip, clean and re-lube might be all it needs.
A disc brake scoot might work better but I would love a drum brake scoot just for the look.

I did think maybe a spring clean would do the trick, I'll add it to my pre-season service list

Yeh a blast with wd40 on the external pivot part and inside the lever would be my first action
