Went to ride my Charge Plug today. It's got SRAM hydro discs on it. The rear pulls right to the bar and barely moves the pads. Doesn't feel like it needs bleeding as it barely makes contact with the rotor. FWIW I had it stored upside down for a couple of weeks. Anyone got any ideas?

Probably needs bleeding. Air in the reservoir floated up to the caliper while upside down. Might sort itself out if stood the right way up for a couple of days, might not.

How would you expect it to feel if it did need bleeding then?

Anyway, what tthew & rorschach said.

What everyone else says, you've described classic symptoms of needing a bleed.
