    2012 xtr brake sticking

    My rear brake lever feels a bit sticky after a few hundred miles. Maybe notchy would be a better description. Any recommendations? Should I have the brake rebled?

    Mine was doing something like that. I just cleaned all the moving parts with a toothbrush and degreaser and relubed. Has been smooth ever since, but I do make sure to clean the levers when the bike gets washed.
