My rear hydraulic disc brake seems to have lost some pressure as it' all spongy now where I can pull the lever almost to the bar grip.
The brake still works, a la stopping the bike, but I'm guessing I'm in for a serious crash if I don't get it looked at.
At the end of last season I did open the reservoir screw and some fluid leaked out. I'm sure this started the process of de-pressurization and/or air getting into the system.
Do I need to bleed this one out? I pulled off the rear wheel and gave the lever a bunch of pulls to load up the line, then pressed the pistons out again with no luck - same condition, spongy mcspongy-ster.
