So while bleeding the front brake, I was applying some slight pressure to one of the syringes when all of a sudden fluid started coming out from under the cap circled in the picture below.
I stopped, cleaned up the fluid, made sure nothing was still leaking and then finished up the job.
Now that front lever feels incredibly stiff and quick to engage, when pulled, and when compared to the rear brake.
I bled both brakes again, just to be sure. Same thing.
Could there be fluid stuck under that cap, on the wrong side of the diaphragm, causing it to feel overfilled? To note, when I pull the lever, nothing leaves from it - I flicked and pulled it quite a bit.
One thing I didn't do on either brake is turn the pad contact adjuster. Does that have a big affect on the feel of these brakes? I'm used to the pad contact doing nothing on my Shimanos...
Tips? Did I fuckup the lever? Yay nay?
