hi,

just bought myself a pair of these the front one is perfic nearly chucks me over the bars but the rear is shit the lever can nearly be pulled to the grip before it sort of stops you... it works better if you pump the lever before you want to brake but soon goes back to the shit state again when you pull the lever there is a quiet popping sound is this a lack of fluid or is there a leak (i cant see one?)

cheers tom

Low fluid, air in fluid or contaminated pads?
