Does anyone have an idea why the front brake on a dura ace brifter would lock up when going over a bump in the road?
Here's the scoop. I recently bought a new road bike, a Gunnar Roadie with a full dura ace set up. I bought the frame and components from the LBS and had them assemble it. The components were a take off from a new bike, supposedly never ridden, they look new. The frame is brand spankin' new.
I was on a group ride, cruising along about 20 mph or so when I hit a bump in the road. My front brake locked up and put me over the bars. No apparent damage to my bike but the front brake was locked up solid. When I got home, after a trip to the ER, I pulled the bike out of the van the brake was still locked up. I moved the shifter and squeezed the brake and then the brake worked fine.
I'm going to be off the bike for a while, but now I question the shifter and what recourse I have. The bike only has 160 miles on it.
