ok so, noticed today that the bite point on the front brake keeps moving.
for instance, i was going down a hill at low speed as i was in traffic. i was using the front brake to stay at a slow pace and had the biting point but as i was going further down the hill the biting point got longer. lemme explain, i mean the lever at its biting point to where the brake worked but after a second or 2 i had more freeplay so the lever kept moving in the further i went down the hill. but if i let off the brake lever the biting point started from far out again and so on.
this is highly weird as far as im aware. never head that happen before and never heard of this instance.
i have a gen2 ABS uk model with HEL braided lines which have been on for about 2 years so shouldn't have anything to do with those per se. the pads look fine, the brake fluid is fine so i dunno wtf is going on.
im fairly sure there is some explanation for it or an idea what is causing this.
just crapping myself if it does the same and fails in an emergency situation.
IDEAS??
