hi all,
had a crash today (first in over 15ish months!!) and my bike came out worse than me. ive recently upgraded to a J3 rear brake and a J5 front. the lever for the J3 was crushed against a tree in the accident, and the lever now needs to be pulled back about 4.5cm until the brake bites.
i am quite new to hydraulics, so am not really sure what to do - any advice?
cheers

look for leaks. fix and get a bleed.
Bleed kit needed. LBS time maybe."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
