Hi
I've just got a Specialized Stumpy & OOTB & both brake levers travel
about 2" at the lever's tip before the pads bite.
Is there a way to reduce this?
It's so bad that when I altered the reach of the levers to how I'd like
them they're almost touching the grip.
I've turned the red pad engagement knob the full 20 revolutions so the
pads are the closest they can be to the disk but still it's about 2"
travel & there's about 1mm gap at the pads.
Seeing that they're new I'd be surprised if they need bleeding, but if
they do I read that the lever/reservoir can be bled separately. Is this
possible?
On my previous (& first) disc brakes - Hope C2's Sport, there was a way
to adjust the push rod position, but not on these :-(.
Any help for a solution would be appreciated.
Cheers
