Bicycle With Hydraulic Disc Brakes - Brakes Lever Travels
3 Answers
I wonder if the brakes lever travel is normal on the rear brakes. When I pull the rear brakes lever, it travels a lot more than the front brakes lever.
If I release the lever and reapply the brake again (pull the lever again), the lever travels reduces. Is this normal.
However, the front brakes have the same travels every time I release and reapply the brakes.
Effectively, the rear brakes is like a car's brakes pedal when you pumping it with the engine off.
As a matter of interest I went to Halfords and tried one of their bike (different brands/bike), the rear brakes behaves the same as mine. So what is the conclusion?
