Honestly, the difference with just that tiny bit of grease was beyond belief.
I did the usual Google search which ranged from a complete caliper overhaul for sticking pistons, a master cylinder kit refurb, brake line change, but nobody actually suggested the real solution, probably because it's just not that obvious.
If you look for "crunchy front brake lever" online you will see it's a very common problem.
I s'pose all the heavy duty rain is to blame, as my bike's left outside at work during the day, and also the dusty shite amongst it that has headed our way in recent times as well.
Anyway, lesson learned, and a lovely simple fix once you know the answer to the problem. :thumbup
