    This happened while adjusting my tandems after scaling out. 1. Can I keep going if I hang it back up temporarily with zip ties or a small chain? 2. Can I keep going?

    I didn't think it was a smart ### answer! More like a ridiculous question!
    Any idea what's going to happen with that brake when it engages several times?
    Now if you had asked if you can tie it up long enough to get it to a shop, I would say yes!

    Seriously you are asking this?

    This needs to be fixed, and if you go down the road, and this locks up causing an accident, do you think they won't see this post and you lose a lot because of something that you should know the answer to.

    What you can do is back it off all the way or cage it and tie it up so you can get to a shop otherwise will have to sit onthe side of the road with that wheel's brakes completely locked up.
