TimXX Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Hi XXers, Question- my front brake handle has about 25mm [1"] free play before it activates the brake. The small black wheel does not seem to change this- just the distance from the grip. How do I decrease this free play distance? Can the small piston that depresses the master cylinder be made longer? Is this distance a neccessary safety factor? All suggestions will be appreciated [make some of them relevant]. TimXX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 If you haven't changed your fluid in a while, or it's corrupt, then that would create a spongy feel that would be similiar to what you indicate perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimXX Posted May 24, 2003 Author Share Posted May 24, 2003 Mike, I don't think that is the problem [but I will check it]. There just seems to be a lot of free play before the handle bar brass? piston meets the rubber master cylinder piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
