sounds like it

If riding an XC race bike is like touching the trail,
then riding a rigid singlespeed is like licking it

how does the lever feel?
read the brakes and bleeding topic in the FAQs?"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

squelching sound would come from the lever, try a squirt of wd up your lever towards the master cylinder, mine was squeaking from there, if its more than a squeak then its a bleed or a rebuild.who cares?0

the lever feels a bit spongy, does that affect it?0
