Brake Adjustment
For some reason it seems like my rear brake is 'sticking'. When I pull on the brake lever (dia-comp) the brake pads come to the rim and the bike stops. But when I let go of the lever the pads barley come off the rim and the lever doesn't 'spring' back into position. The lever also seems to have a bit of play to it.
Any suggestions???
Thanks!

Also! When the cable is off the brake it doesn't seem like the brake readily springs back open, it seems like it needs a bit of a nudge...

I had a sticky brake. When I took them apart I found corrosion around the pivots. They are 5 year old Shimano 105s (?). I don't know what the previous owner did to them, but once I cleaned them all up they worked great.
