My rear TRP 960 brake has bound up twice with almost no movement till I soak it in lube and then it comes back about two weeks later. Is the brake shot or can something be done. Its only two years old.
Sounds like it's time for a rebuild.

I struggled with the same issue on two different pairs after about a year of use. I rebuilt one set and it worked for awhile only to have the same lackluster performance about 3 months later. I eventually abandoned both sets. The 970sl and 970EQs I have do not give me this same problem......at least so far.
Back the centre bearing off a bit.....surely it is that simple??
Updated: Racing again! Thought this was unlikely! Eventually, I may even have a decent race!

I tried that on both pairs of my 960s it didnt fix mine. There was some corrosion on the one I took apart.

I took it too the shop the first time because it was completely locked up and the mechanic managed to free it up but after telling me I might need a replacement. If that's so according to everybody here is this something that only trp can do or can I get the bushings myself and do this.

If you find a permanent fix for the problem let me know, I know I have at least one of the pairs around somewhere.
I'd take it apart, clean it out and re-grease it. I've rebuilt a number of sticky Shimano calipers. They work much better afterwards.

I did a complete rebuild on one of mine, it only worked better for about 3 months, then a complete seize again
