My Claud Butler (cape wrath 03) is only 2 months old. I have ridden Llandegla 5 times then put the bike in for a service where they bled the brakes and got them working brilliantly again. They had gone REALLY spongey with loads of travel in the levers. Rode LLandegla again today just (did the blue run for a change) and the brakes were fantastic - until i got back to the car and they have gone back to how they were already! VERY spongey and loads of travel in the levers. Are my brakes faulty or are they just poop?

Cheers, stu.

    It'd help if you told us what brakes they are.

    either need a bleed or seals have gone or the caliper is not aligned correctly and you have removed the wheel between things changing.
