I have a rear brake master cylinder that seems to be having a problem that ive never had in my life before. When depressing the pedal the brake will stiffen up and work like normal 95% of the time, yet the other 5% it will stiffen up like normal, but then completely blow through the stroke and the pedal hits the floor and there is absolutely no brake. It just started happening suddenly while riding. No signs of a problem before. Ive bled the system through and through and replaced the fluid and have adjusted the brake play all to no avail. It feels to me like the master cylinder piston is broken or the o-rings inside are bad, and not causing a perfect seal every time the lever is depressed. but im not sure? what does this sound like to you guys, new master cylinder the fix, or maybe just a rebuild kit? Thanks for the help
