Adjusting brake lever travel?

My right brake lever has too much travel in it, almost touching the bars when lamped on EWOK style today. Does adding more brake fluid reduce the travel? What gives?

Check if it's buckled out of shape

Well, what brakes do you have Don? Is there brake pad contact point adjustment on them?

Bring it to me Don...

pour boiling water in to the reservoirs Don or a Gin and Tonic !!

They are Hayes Stroker Trail, none of that fancy stuff Max.

I'll drop it in Stew and you can do your magic.

In order to fix Hayes/magura, you simply replace them with XT....

When you stick on the truely brillant fabulous XT brakes ,I'll give you €15 for that 3rd world useless horrible hayes trail stuff.PM me
