What is the best option for a sticking rear caliper?
I've had a quick look and the caliper seems to be sticking by the handbrake, the cable is slack but when I add pressure to the lever the brake releases .the brake isn't fully on but enough to stop the wheel from spinning freely.
Do I strip or do I just replace it?
 
just strip clean and lubricate first the cheaper option
