Crunchy Front Break
Ok so crunchy is a strange way to describe it, but when I squeeze the front break it will slow the bike but if I apply much pressure it will stutter in. I mean the handle will kind of pop and allow me to squeeze it further instead of just holding solid and feeling firm as I squeeze. Anyone experienced this before?

I had a similar issue. I took my bike to the shop for a new rear tire andthe technician that installed the tire took a little test ride. When he came back, without saying a word, went and grabbed a spray can of grease and lubed up the front brake lever (including that little part that pushes into the reservoir). Now the front brake is nice and smooth. Worth checking...
