Searched - didn't find anything related:
Anybody else experience this?: riding along just fine on the curvy roads, brakes fine (firm & consistent), after many miles, I brake for a turn and the lever moves ~1 inch further than normal, but still firm. Second application and it's back to normal. Ride for many more miles then it happens again. Brake hydraulics are very firm when applied, terrain is relatively smooth, brake action is smooth (no chatter or pulsing), pads are only 10% worn, rotors are smooth and clean and tight tight, wheel axle is tight, fluid is <1 year old and clear, bike has 10k miles on it. Symptoms are very similar to when the brake pads get shoved back following a violent head shake. I don't use the rear brake much so can't comment on it, other than I do seem to have to bleed it one or twice a year to keep it firm. Any ideas? Jim
