If your brakes have excessive brake lever throw, it may be a result of the pistons sticking in the caliper. Before bleeding the system, you can try to
loosen the sticky piston by performing the following steps:
1 Clamp the bicycle into a bicycle work stand and remove the wheel
according to the wheel manufacturer's instructions.
2 Squeeze the brake lever several times until the brake pads nearly
contact one another.
3 Insert the pad spreader tool between the brake pads to spread the
pads to the full width of the pad spreader tool.
4 Remove the pad spreader.
