Has anyone else experienced the above brakes with a brake lever slow/doesn't return back after braking?

Have a new set of these brakes so not used before ;-( I have even bleed them but still no joy...

Any advice greatly appreciated.

new master cylinder seal kit. If they're new ask the shop to get it sorted through fishers' warranty, I've had a few of those before

I had an issue with the pin that the lever pivots on was sticky. Took it out and cleaned it and it seemed to do the trick. Same prob with juicy 7's but that was the retaining grub screw tightness on the pin that affected them. It just didn't turn freely in the rubber sleeves very well when it was too tight. A little play in the lever was required.

Could be one of the lever piston seals has got kinked. Are they a brand new set? If so bommer's advice should be followed. If they're a second hand set then a lever assembly re-build could be on the cards.

I've just rebuilt a pair and once cleaned and regrease using the proper DOT grease the they feel great. Didn't even change the seals.
