hi all,

during yesterdays ride something happened to my previously solid SLX brakes. halfway round the ride the kind of lost power - the lever started coming almost back to the bar. they still stopped me fine, its just that the reach seemed to change drastically and i had to use 2 fingers and really pull on the levers.

pads are still at least 50% full, happened to front and back at the same time.

any ideas?

Strangely, i've had this happen on other brakes when it's been a really wet ride, lever returns to normal when conditions dry out.Got no logical explanation, even happened with recently serviced brakes too.
