Roger, there is a valve assembly consisting of a spring and piston on the
front disc brakes. I think it is designed to hold a little pressure while
stopped, or maybe to equalize the front and rear brakes. What happens is
the valve doesn't release and the front brakes stick. Anyway, just remove
the spring and that will fix the sticking problem. If you follow the front
brake line down to where it splits off, there it is. Just remove the screw
at the top and pull out the spring, then replace and re-bleed the line.
I'm working here by (faulty) memory, so someone correct me if necessary.
