    This is not a brake I am familiar with. However since it is a Cable actuated disc they all work on the same principles and I may be able to help.

    Please Clarify the problem: When you squeeze the brake lever, the brake works and the wheels stops, but then does not want to return to open? Or is it a different problem? I am not clear what the problem is you are having.

3 possible issues:

1) the cable is not moving through the housing freely. There could be a burr, a bend, a worn end or just simply rust in the housing and that is binding the cable up, not allowing for the return spring to happen and essentailly stick closed. Rock and Roll cable magic lube is the a great solution for the sticking cable. If it is bent or the end is worn then you need to replace.

2) The springs on the actual brake are binding. There should be an adjustment knob on the brakes to adjust the tension. If this does not work, then check the cable binding again.

3) The pads and/ or springs have some sort of problem. You can remove the pads and springs, clean and replace and see if the pads themselves are just sticking.

If none of these solutions work then you will need to go into a bike shop and have the mechanic look at it. You may have a broken part somewhere in the brake or lever or both.

Good luck, my guess is it is just sticking and cleaning the pads and lubing the cable will get it to stop sticking. By the way any bicycle lube will work down the cable, the Rock and Roll is just a special cable lube for sticky situations.

I need disconnect front wheel mountain bike forfringe super cycle 550 zoom full suspension

The front wheel is normally held in with one of two common methods. A basic nut on each end of the axle or a 'skewer' pin. On most bike that do not have disc brakes you might need to unhook the brake arms to allow the tyre to clear the brake pads.
For the nut type simply slacken the nuts and drop the wheel out of the C shaped notches the axle sits in.
The skewer type is a small lever on one side you swing all the way over then slacken the nut on the opposite side two or three turns. The wheel should then drop down and out.

I have a Schwinn Ditch mountain bike with front disc brakes and a quick release front tire. I pooped the tire off using the quick release on the hub and the tire simply slipped off and out of the disc...

You have to bleed the break fluid on your break and press the pads on both sides then insert the disc. When you bleed the break fluid do not press the lever.

No rear brakes on 1985 honda goldwing aspencade. What could be the problem ?

Check your rear brake resevoir. Fill it with Dot 4 brake fluid and proceed to bleed the brakes, If this does not resore your braking and there is no sign of a leak on the rear caliper, you will have to replace the seals in the master cylinder, or the complete cylinder.

Can you put mountain bike rims or wheels on a road bike?

Yes, but not without consequences. The front wheel will probably fit, but the brakes won't reach the rim and it's likely that the tire will get squeezed by the fork.
A modern rear MTB hub is 135 mm wide, while a modern road hub is 130 mm, so there's your first problem. Then you'll also have the same issues with brakes not reaching and tire clearance as you had for the front.

Bikes with disc brakes can sometimes take different wheel sizes w/o any further issues, but keep in mind that pedal clearence will change.

No brakes at rear wheel of my 2005 standard goldwing. Had a new rear tire(screw/nail) put on and the service man told me.I normally slow down slow enough to use front brakes.I had installed full foot...

Try putting the bike on the center stand and get the front wheel off the ground with a floor jack. Spin the front wheel by hand and press on the rear brake pedal. The front wheel should stop. Likewise with the bike on the center stand and the rear wheel off the ground you should be able to lock the rear wheel with the foot pedal. On many Goldwings the rear pedal also operates one front disc. This is for people that refuse to use there front brakes to stop or slow there bike (80% to 90% of your stopping power is the front brake). Try bleeding the entire system front and back, you may just have air in the system. If the rear brake still does not work you may have a bad delay valve in the system. If you need to take the bike in to a shop, try to find a mechanic that is familiar with the system so they do not replace parts unnecessarily. That way you minimize your shop time and maximize your riding time.
