    Bought a cube acid mtb a couple of weeks ago from CRC and ever before I cycled it the hydraulic brake started leaking at the brake lever/cable and now it has lost all power. Ive no clue about hydraulic brakes and to be honest I dont want the hassle of returning it as I was hoping to do the nire valley drop the weekend, anyone know if it's a common issue or fixable? Cheers

    Wash all the brake fluid off your bike some of them can be corrosive and damage the finish on brake levers/frame.

    It's probably something simple drop it into your lbs and they'll sort it out. It's probably a DIY job but best leave it in if you want to use it this weekend.
