Yeah I meant the seals on the piston after that. Hayes told me a dab of grease on the end of the ball joint. I used DOT grease because it was close but I'm sure something else would work too, like Slick Honey.
When 1 of my levers was getting sticky, it was also a bit noisy. I replaced the bearings first, then greased the ball end, and finally cleaned and greased the piston seals. The last one did the trick - there was a tiny bit of grit stuck on one of the seals.
Has anyone tested Cura 4s with the new-ish FCS lever? They claim it increases leverage and some reviews indicate it provides more power along with being slightly longer, but I can't seem to find much info aside from the NSMB review. Anyone know how much it changes the leverage and if it's a big improvement?
Also, if anyone wants to add Intend Trinity to the spreadsheet: they claim 17mm pistons, 9.5mm master, and mechanical leverage of 7.3 with overall of 46.78:1. I haven't verified on mine, though.
Yes, I had this problem on one set. I don't think I ever solved it, instead I put them on my wife's bike and it helps me keep track of her in the woods
Joking aside, I seem to recall Hayes telling me you could remove the lever and lightly grease the pivot. I never tested that, though. I definitely remember how irritating it was, so you aren't alone. Maybe call Hayes and see what they suggest.
