Re: brake lever feels notchy
Quite often when I've had this and prepared myself for having to overhaul the master cylinder I've found that it's sorted just by greasing the lever pivot and where it contacts the piston.

Notchy.....what's notchy. I'd be looking at the discs too if this is something you feel through the lever when applied. Try freeing up the bobbins.
