Laurence--Trials Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) I was riding Norwich today and my lever suddenly went kinda weird it gets to a certain point then theres almost like a hard "bump" before the lever can get pulled back any more and the brake locks on. Its hard to explain how the lever feels. Also the braking got alot worse bite and hold were/are terrible! Any idea's how to fix? I'm going to re-bleed tomorrow see if that makes any difference. Tom: "spongy like squeezing a turd" Alex: "they feel normal to a cirtan point it feels like they stop as if your on the rotor but your not, squeeze harder then a little click then your on the rotor" Edited April 19, 2010 by Laurence--Trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Sounds like pads catching on the pad spring/caliper body or cylinder sticking or master cylinder sticking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Vandart Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) I would say there is a high possibility. Is it front or rear? Let me know and I'll see if I have some hose lying around you can have. PM me Edited April 19, 2010 by Matt Vandart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
