SZ1 ur a god
it seems mad that these fixed my brake problem

if any of you are thinking uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

well i come in last night after work put my bike away and decided ill try the rubber band trick see if it works. so i pulled the lever in and put bands around the handle bar and the lever so the brake lever is pulled in and i left the mastercyclinder cap on.

i left over night or for about 15 hours and just had a look at it took the mastercyclinder cap off. omg i have hardley any fluid in there better top it up so i did then i stuck cap back on. i then took rubber bands off and OMG my brake is like new lever is very stiff and its just amazing i am very happy cor do i love the org :P also i checked for leaks and all is good.

so if any one says to you stick rubber bands on you lever over night try it coz it might work well it did for me any way

cheap way to fix my epic brake problem
