My disc brake levers are pulling too close to the handlebar grip and they don't spring back too fast either. I have my rear brake pressed right back to the grip and the brake doesn't engage the disc tight enough. Any tips. Oh I have juicy 5's.
Cheers.

    Or open the reservoirs up and top 'em off a bit. I find that helps although it makes a mess when you replace the pads next.....

    try adjusting the lever reach? is the disc being moved by the pads?
