Avid Elixir 5 - lever issue

dodgyknees

Lever sticking on new Avid Elixir 5 brakes (approx 2 mths old).

Right hand lever doesn't return fully after use - ie. pull lever, brakes work fine but lever doesn't return to its normal resting postion, have to push it back manually myself.

Is this an adjustment issue? And if so how do I adjust it?

I'm new to hydraulics having had cable BB7s previously.

It will almost definately need a bleed. We see it now and again....same symptoms same as Juicies-brake works fine but lever doesnt return to the parked position.

Take them back to the suppliers and get them bled.
