I have a cannondale scalpel with sram level tlm brakes. After riding and I go to stop both the front and rear brakes work but they won't release. I've read this is a known problem and sram will fix it so I called the local sram bike shop and they won't fix it because I don't have the original receipt. So I guess I'm stuck trying to fix it. Does anyone know what I need to do to get these brakes working properly? Thanks

At last check the shops had the parts and doled them out as needed. They are jammed with business right now, so it might take a bit. Recommend taking care of them if they can pull off a miracle.

I actually installed our last stock Warranty set today. I usually keep a dozen or so in stock all the time. They take a few days to get otherwise.

It's a simple fix. You replace with Shimano brakes.

Fixed.

Back on topic, installed a warranty set of levers on an old set of DB5 brakes that fell within the warranty serial number range, that instantly restored perfect braking. Only cost me a new bleed kit (which I needed anyway).

Second warranty on guides and it started again, sorry, jumped to shimano.

Had 3 sets of avid's they all had sticking problems, they passed on the legacy to guides.
Shimano for 5 years, flawless. And they have bite!!

Crap. I've got a set of Hopes from my old bike, so I'm definitely going to keep those in reserve. The G2 RSC's have been decent, so I haven't replaced them with the Hopes yet.
