Hi.
Please bare with me as no absolutely know nothing about disc brakes on bikes but mine seems to be suffering a few problems at the moment.
On my mtb i have elixir 5 brakes fitted. The front works brilliantly but the back is not to good. When i pull the lever it pulls back almost to the bars and doesn't inspire much confidence it needed in an emergency. If i pump the lever a few times though, it does firm up.
Does it need bleeding or just simply adjusting. If it needs bleeding is it advisable to take it to my local bike shop.
Sorry for the rather stupid and obvious question to the people who are in "the know".
All the very best,
Johnny
