Hydraulic brake experts - I need help!
I've installed the BionX Press Switch for Magura brakes. It worked as designed at first, then started to be "always active". Since I can't ride around with the controller always thinking I have my brake on, I've unplugged the switch for now.
If I adjust my lever throw to its most relaxed position, the brake works fine. But of course the brakes don't work so well!
I'm wondering:
1) Could this be a sign there's a little air in the system I need to bleed out (I don't think so myself, but just asking)
2) Conversely, would the introduction of a little air bubble into the system give me pressure relief at rest - that allows for the brake to only activate when I throw the handle?
I have another hydraulic switch I can try, but I don't want to jump to trying that since it will requiring another installation and system bleed...
Some more details here: http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=37964&p=619563#p619353
(Started this thread since it's clear it's not a CA problem).
