  1. I have a problem with my Hayes 9.
    I re-bled it and it was ok. for a moment.
    Unfortunately, during the night some of the dot4 fluid escaped through
    this small hole in the reservoir cap:

    now, with only part of the fluid left, it has very low stopping power.
    i can feel piston going to the end, and still no power 🙁

    what should i do?
    re-bleed it again?
    is changing an reservoir cap nessesery?
    or throw hayes away and buy Deore535 brake?

    Mk.

    Get a new reservoir seal and rebleed and if that doesn't fix it look at
    some Magura or Hope brakes
