  1. I have this theory that if your disc brakes work, don't touch them. Other than change pads, I don't let a bikeshhop touch my brakes. My XTR rear brake started feeling as if there's a little bubble in the line the last couple of rides, and especially when on a long dh section, the brake will pull a lot closer to the bar than normal. And so I did the unthinkable and took my bike to my LBS and with a heavy heart I asked them to bleed my super crisp feeling XTR rear brake - only to sort out the 'when hot' problem. I pick up my bike today and worst fear realized, my brake has no more kick back. If you pull any Shimano brake and it has a swift spring back to it's original position. That is no more the case, and mine slowly/sloth-ly moves back to its original position. It is still potent, but there's no modulation, because there's no kickback, so the brake stays where it is, and if you pull too far, wheel just locks up - and very abruptly. LBS is stumped, I'm furious and also stumped. They have no idea why its acting like this or what could go wrong. Anyone know why this would happen and how to fix it? My brake's character is just not what it used to be, and I won't attempt to manual sections like that, and if a Tektro Auriga felt like that, I would still suspect something went wrong.
