How far does your brake lever move before you feel resistance (brakes being applied)? I installed new pads and rebuilt the master cylinder. My lever moves 1 1/2 - 2" before I feel any resistance and the lever stops about one inch from the grip. it does feel a little firmer (some might remember my "mushy brake lever" thread) but it seems to travel too far before the brakes are applied.

Before I get too carried away I want to know if this is normal.

Thank you for any help.
