When you mean pull them back too far, are you talking about squeezing the handle all the way? Because I had an issue with that, but it wasn't the brakes, it was just the handle being loose. Just needed to tighten the screw and fixed that issue.when they feel mushy or you have to pull them back too far.
when the lever is tight if you find the lever is getting close the the handle or when it tightens and it just feels easier to pull to get the same braking then it needs it. no mileage it depends on how you brake and such. our tandem I was overheating the back on long descents and i t needed the bleed in 600 or so miles. my bulls went maybe 8000 miles before they needed it. then my bike fell over when the kickstand broke and the back needed led after that.When you mean pull them back too far, are you talking about squeezing the handle all the way?

Anyway you can describe "mushy" a little better?
Even better, any idea of a mileage threshold where the brakes may just start to go? 1500, 2000, 3000 miles ridden? It could be all relative also to how you ride and if you always come to hard stops or apply the brakes gently. But I'm guessing that after a certain amount of miles ridden, you probably used your brakes enough that they probably would need some sort of servicing regardless.
There is no adjustment to hydraulic brakes. Sounds like it might be advantageous for you to take the bike to a shop.How do I adjust the brakes? My rear brake isn't really stopping the bike.
