pogo Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Same thing happened to me but i replaced the spring only a few months ago, is there any other things that could cause it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Same happened to me, took it to my LBS who said it was dead. New lever. Edited February 5, 2011 by Luke Dunstan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Same happened to me, got advice to take the piston out and sand it down a little but just got a new leaver and threw the old one at a spider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Had this happen to me a ton of times now. You need to shove a really small allen key down the hole. I left the piston soaking in cycle oil or whatever stuff it was, £1 oil from the £1 shop. And plugged it in the next day and it returns super smooth. I would have sanded around the oring too but I don't have sandpaper in my room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
