Jake. Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Right. Got myself a pair of racelines, rear piston is slow. I've taken it out, sanded it a tad, greased it up multiple times and submerged in water before pulling lever. The lever wouldn't return at first so at least it returns now, but it's still quite slow and isn't snappy. I've even stretched the spring and this helped a little but not much. Anything else I can try? If not I'll just use my other lever body, would be nice to have matching racelines though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Have you tried to bleed it?Water bleed yes, but makes no difference to how it feels without a bleed. lube it with some wet lube. dont grease it. also, bleed it with oil if you are having problems, that will lube it right up Thought of the lube option, may have to try that. Really don't fancy bleeding with oil but I will as a last resort. change the piston for a different one mate xAlready done, made a teeny difference but not enough.
