Linked brakes By new2scootn (Read 399 times)

Anybody know anything about linked brakes?? My new trike(a Sunny Roadrunner MC_D300TKB) has linked brakes and when I squeeze the right brake lever(which applies the front brakes almost exclusively) they hang up after releasing the lever(not completely hanging up but still dragging). If I squeeze the left brake(which applies mostly the rear brake along with some front) then release, this will release the fronts. System is all hydraulic-no cables. Master cylinder on each handle bar with lines going to a (proportioning?) valve then to each of the three wheels. I figure there's something hanging up in this valve but don't know what it looks like inside and sure would like a few pointers or suggestions if anybody has any. If a picture would help I can post one later.

Yea probably valve, but I sure don't like that deal. Linked they could be hard to trouble shoot as well as to stop under other conditions than the chinese designed them for. Same deal with the fake anti-lock ones.

There is a video of a 5-600 lb woman riding a scooter on the highway on the internet and if she has the fake anti-lock front brake, the chances of her making a panic stop are non existant!
