The lever has always been a bit slow to return.I didn't ride for a few months and now I have to push it back with a bit of force.Anybody had this problem?They have the bite point adjuster but no k24 stamp on them.
swollen seals was a diagnosis i got when this happened to my juicy 5 lever. Will replace em and see

I had this problem with my formula oros. Turned out a drop of oil on the pivot at the end of the lever fixed it. Felt a bit of a dick when I worked out that was all that was causing it....
I'm sure I read somewhere NOT to oil the pivot as it's meant to be self-lubricating and oil will perish the rubber? 99% sure I read that on MTBR written by a guy who works for Formula in the States.
I had the same problem on my k18's. I just popped the lever out and re-inserted it back into place and all was fine.
I had a set that did the same & turned out there had been a recall on them that wasn't very well advertised. Some part in the lever that was plastic should've been alloy & got swollen up, causing the lever to stick.
Sent them to Propel through LBS, took bloody ages, but came back better than ever, might be worth giving them a call?
Thanks guys, I sent an email to propel this morning.So it could be a number of things.My other oro (I bought second hand) has been great.Might try taking the lever off in the meantime.cheers
I can not be sure it was the same model, but my cousin had some Formula levers which did this and he found out that there was a known problem, and should be waranty replaceable.
See my repy in this thread http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/formula-k24-locked-up-issue
might give you some pointers.
Propel said they are gonna call me.They wanna know more details.
