funky brake weirdness

[David Pertuz]

I think if the ring were missing it would have been wrong right from the 
start and all the time. I think Wayne's idea is worth checking for, though.

I didn't do the install - at the time it just wasn't practical because 
the shop that could put good new joints in it was waaay the hell away, 
much too far to reasonably schlep it on my bike, and it was winter so I 
couldn't drive the Fiat.
