@edscoble my right hand shifter has some play, this hasn't always been there. It will move a few mm forward and back without engaging the brake, no resistance in moving it.
Does that mean it needs bleeding?

Mine had that, then the brake pistons got a bit sticky. Once I'd cleaned them and lubed them, the movement went.

Clean the piston.

Take out pads.

Squeeze lever carefully, clean brakes, dabs a bit of mineral oil on the piston.

Back in again, see how it run.
