rear brake lever not returning
In the last 2 weeks my rear brake lever stopped returning after being pressed. It seems when the bike has been sitting in a hot garage the lever sticks. However, when the bike has been sitting in a cool underground parkade the lever returns to normal. It's pretty dangerous doing low speed manoeuvres in hot downtown traffic. When the lever sticks I lose all my ability to modulated my speed, then when the lever un-sticks randomly and the bike accelerates. A friend thought I might have low brake fluid. I just thought I get some feed back before I proceed.

ditto. The lever hingy thingy needed to be sanded down to get rid of some debris and lubed. thanks to Rob at Skagit HD, Washington. He took care of my problem while I was waiting for my friends to arrive. I'm glad there are great service dept guys like Rob who recognized that a group ride on the Casacades loops with sporadic rear brake is bad.
