eBay Sprint has just arrived (after 5 weeks of shipping). I'll save the cool stuff about riding a Sprint for a different post. For now I have a few problems/questions that I hope one of you listers might help with (please).

- the Master Cylinder feels... er sticky. You can even hear it when you pull the front brakes. Sounds like rubber sliding against wet metal. Trouble is it's nearly impossible to modulat ethe brakes. Overcoming the sticking ends up with more brake than I had hope for and the Sprint brakes seems to work gretty good when you grab a handfull!

Is the master cyl shot? Do they all feel like that? Maybe some fresh fluid? Any ideas would be appreciated.

I'd rebuild the MC. You don't know if the fluid was ever changed. I'd use liberal doses of silicone grease on the moving parts upstream from the brake fluid. :???: :???:
