Hello there, I have been running my Elixr 5s for a while now and have been pretty satisfied until one time I took it in for a tune up, they adjusted my brakes in a way that screws up how I ride.

I don't know the technical term for this, but they made it so I have to pull back pretty far to where it is pressed hard against my knuckle to get any significant braking power. This is a real pain in the neck and I would really want to know how to fix this. I tried adjusting reach but that did nothing.

So is there any simple way to adjust it so I don't have to pull back as far to get braking power? If anyone knows how please tell me because this is really messing up my riding.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

add more brake fluid if adjusting the reach doesn't work
