Take the complete brake system to a bike shop that deals with SRAM. They "should" be able to warranty the levers, no need to buy anything. Otherwise, take the lever apart and sand down the white plunger piece so it doesn't get stuck in the bore, there are how-to videos online. I've gone both routes and have had success.

BHowell Added a new video Carson Storch - Slayer Raw
12/4/2019 2:01pm
For Carson’s section, we went to Virgin, Utah, known for its massive features and big mountain lines. This project was shot in the spring, which gave Carson a chance to put his tires in the dirt a few months before this year’s Red Bull Rampage. 2019 marked Carson’s 6th year competing at Rampage, and in that time, he’s stomped some massive spins, drops, and unique features. For this project, he wanted to push it outside of a contest environment and land switch spins, flip combo’s, and fresh lines on a brand-new bike. www.bikes.com/slayer Cinematography: Harrison Mendel, Liam Mullany Colourist: Sam...

12/4/2019 8:58am I have. I jumped on my buddy's Scott e-bike and he got on my Bronson, he still assisted (paralyzed from the knees down) and we put the bike on Turbo. It wasn't easy but I wanted to see how fast we could go. 9mph uphill for several miles. Cool interval training? As an aside: I was surprised how weird my...

BHowell Added a new video Rob's Wild Rides: High Altitude Hurt Locker in Ecuador
11/27/2019 8:10am
At 4,000 meters altitude, Rob Warner and Finn Iles take the gondola to incredible heights. With a vast network of mountains and volcanoes, Ecuador is home to magnificent landscapes and some authentic, gnarly mountain bike trails, but will the pair be able to survive the exceptionally high altitude? Rob Warner traveled the globe racing the Mountain Bike World Cup, but never got to experience the local cultures and people during his travels. That's all about to change in Rob Warner's Wild Rides.
BHowell Added a new video Best Smack Talk in the Game - Uncle Ray Does Racing Right
11/25/2019 8:32am
Johannes Fischbach's wacky Uncle Ray returns unexpectedly from the States to upgrade the legendary Black Mountain Bikepark Downhill Race with a superstar wildcard. For the first time, a camera team was allowed to capture exclusive insights into Uncle Ray's race weekend and was able to document an epic race. What Uncle Ray didn't know - the event was a classic Non-E Downhill event. Uncle Ray gets between the fronts and solves the situation in his very own way. Check it out… In case you missed your intro to Uncle Ray, watch it HERE.
BHowell Added a new video Cam McCaul Vlog: Sending It in the Goblin Zone
11/23/2019 8:29am
A good desert zone... is there anything better? Maybe.. but I doubt it. Henry Lanman ( @hendotb14 ) pioneered this zone called “The Goblin.” He built a line top to bottom and was rad enough to have a group of us out to ride it together. Sometimes that perfect pedological anomaly we affectionately refer to as “popcorn dirt” can inspire a case of SOD (symptomatic overzealous disorder.) Soo... in this video, look out for two things: Euphoric enjoyment of the popcorn dirt that lines these perfect chutes, but also prepare to cringe when said dirt inspires a little bit too...

Looks like the review you just put up is the only Giro review written by any readers, that would explain the discrepancy. Nice work BTW, thank you for the contribution, Giro is a brand I often look to for quality goods, always nice to get feedback on their shoes.
