The Mrs is very grumpy with me this morning. Not sure why. All I did yesterday was watch the GP until 10, then cycling until 5 and then the Masters until 9

At least you didn’t go cycling with your buddies too before China ????????

Well that explains my problem!!! One of my MTBs stood for a while(has XT). It was hanging up on a wall, front wheel on top so the caliper was still below but my rear brake is now pretty much unusable since starting to use it again. Lever to grip and it only just touches the disk. Thanks for the info. Any tips on fixing it?

 

in my experience this happens when you bleed the brake but don't fill the oil reservoir in the lever completely before closing it all up. Then you end up with a little air bubble in the reservoir that gets into the system when the lever is below the caliper. Putting in the reservoir cap should squeeze out a bit of oil to make sure there in no air in it.

Sounds like I need a new LBS  :whistling:
