I kept beating myself up because I know I lubed all lever contact points and fresh fluid. Yadda yadda .
well what happened is that the lever was Binding up at the fulcrum. the point where there is a screww with a locknut on the bottom.
i always over tighten stuff and by doing so with plenty of grease at the hinge the lever worked wonderfully. Well as the grease wore off the tightened hinge was causing more friction.
i loosened the locknut and realized that the lever action was also tightening the bolt/Pin. i backed out the screw greased it all up and locktite the locknut. The nut is not squeezing the hinge point and the locknut will nut work itself loose with extra protection.
tigtening that screw and nut too much will cause un needed friction and cause your brake lever to feel tight.
Simple lesson learned.
