• My LBS tried to bleed it, couldn't, and gave it back to me. They came to the same conclusion that I initially did, that something was broken inside the shifter so this forum has been much more helpful!

    I actually bled it yesterday and rode it today, had a few issues with the bleed (pushing the lever all the way in, when opening and closing the caliper bleed nipple for example, seems to block the shifter up again) but I managed it and seems all good now :)

  • Bike came fully built and I rode it without issue for a year before changing the bar/stem combo (without disconnecting the brake lines). It continued to ride fine for a couple of months until the rear brake got spongy and I noticed the play in the lever.
