The only one I know of is a stuck disc, which is why I went that way.

I was thinking that freezing was a far fetch, but maybe some water got down there are for some reason the disc and flywheel rusted together extra quickly. Still a far fetch, but it way my only thought as to why the pedal would feel normal yet it wouldn't disengage.

And that'll be the tell for sure.
