Ok, so pal picked up an MTB for me though despite obvious very light use there seems more fatigue in the brakes band some uneven pad wear. Anyway, first thing I noticed was poor/spongy braking with lots of redundant/wasted pull and uneven wear esp on rear so cleaned disc and new pads and it's much tighter without wasted pull and significantly more bite. Tried burping front one (for 5 mins) to no avail and there appears to be little pad wear. Is it a case of only option is a bleed? Avid DB3 btw
