Re: Front Brake lever travel
Mine's the same. Perhaps moisture has swollen the pads?

Re: Front Brake lever travel
Had the same recently so I took the calipers off and cleaned the pistons a bit(which were not too bad)but one of the sliders was a bit sticky.Problem identified and nipped in the bud before the salt really got to it.
