Hi
Hoping someone can help me.
I experienced a significant drop in rear braking power a couple of weeks back. The brake lever had no stiffness. It's a relatively new bike so rather than try to bleed it myself I took it to my LBS who bled it and all was fine. A hundred or so miles later, same thing happened.
I've tried to bleed it myself today and all is well up to a certain point. The stiffness returns to the lever, but when I reassemble the rear calliper and remount it to the frame the power has gone again. I've been extra careful in ensuring the bleed point is closed and topped up at the lever when I take the pot off.
The brake will engage and stopthe wheel but when I ride it doesn't stop me.
Anyone got any ideas what might be wrong?
Thanks
