Instead of "clicking" forward as the push rod disengages from the piston, one of my levers just flops forward... I took the lever/push rod assembly apart and it looks like the end of the push rod is eroded (which is strange because i've ridden them 3 times..).
The same brake (front) is also significantly less powerful than the rear.
So
1) has this happened to anyone else?
2) would the pushrod problem somehow affect performance other than the annoyance of the lever flopping forward? or is it more likely that i just need to bleed the system, maybe some air got into the system when i took the lever off? there was some fluid leaking out the black plastic "snap ring" (I don't know how to describe it... thats what the avid technical manual calls it) also when the lever was off.
