Hey guy's the other day when I went biking I notice I have to pull my levers almost to the bar to get full stopping power. I don't think they should need to be bled becuase the bike is only 3-4 months old. Can you just back the lever off a bit? Any tips?

I hate those brakes so much.....
Its probably just the reach adjust screw rattled itself all the way out. Tighten that up and you should be good to go. It happens to everybodys unless you know the cure.
Happened to mine CONSTANTLY, and yes just adjust the reach screw. Even lock-tite didn't do the trick on my bike. Not only that but two master cylinders went on my hayes as well. Needless to say I now have Hope Mono6ti's and I'm loving them.
