Hi all,
Sorry if this has been asked. I have an Avid Juicy 5 brake lever that does not return back sharply. Its very slow. Is there any way to sort this? I have bled the brakes early in the year with the kit as per Avid youtube video.
Cheers
sounds like a seal might of come off...but it might just be dirty...but i had some fives for a year and a half...used abused and never properly cleaned apart from when it rained...they never faultered so id say its a seal or sumthing similar.
Try lubing the pivots?

DON'T USE TEFLON LUBE IT ****S UP THE SEALS
can the lever be removed without opening up the brake itself?
yes
ROFL
can you provide any help on doing this?
yup
undo the grub screw, push out the pivot, pull the lever, the piston head pops out - job done
thanks; i'll try that.
