I have a Hope Mono Mini 2004 rear brake on a bike which hasn’t been ridden for a while; I’ve just gone to take it for a ride and the lever travel has decreased to a couple of millimetres.
The lever still feels nice and firm when the pads bite, and there are no leaks, but the free stroke is so tiny now that the pads rub.
What could have caused this, and how best to fix? The identical front brake is still completely normal and fine.
