[Closed] Hope Tech 3 brake lever, slow return?

Hi,
Had a set of these for a few months with no problems.
After a wet ride last night the lever is a little sluggish in return.
The other lever has a firmer spring and it can be heard as it springs back.
The other brake doesn't quite go back to the stop but operates as normal.
Blasted the pivot with lube just in case but to no difference.
Any other problems I need to be aware of?
Thanx,
Max

I had the same with a X2 and I loosened the bolt through the lever a touch and that seems to solve the problem.

Ahh,
This one doesn't have a bolt as such just a shaft with a circlip.
Have found some earlier threads about the shaft needing cleaning and regreasing.
Will pop the circlip off and give it a bit of lube.
Thanx,
Max
