Where da brakes at??

Ok, so Installed the db bars and all. I figured i'll do brake fluid flush. I put new fluid in, bled the brakes..but the brake lever is softer than it was before... I can't even lock the front with just 2 fingers...i gotta grab in with my whole hand and even so it doesn't grab that good. .. Like i said i bled the crap out them calipers ..no air comming out anymore.

What could be the problem????

I have a longer brake line on with the db bars but that shouldn't affect anything as long as there is no air in the lines...and there isn't

You still have air in the lines somewhere... Very hard to get it all out without a mightyvac. Regular bleeding will allow air to get trapped in by the splitter or so. Buy a brake bleeding kit and rebleed. The kit is a great investment anyways makes the HB bleeding a ease too!

Re: Where da brakes at??

Oh yeah and when it comes to being a squid.. ...everyone was one before

All the stunters out there that hate on sqids dont really help this sport to evolve by discouraging the begginers.

Re: Where da brakes at??

It might be that you spilled fluid on your pads and rotors but if the problem is the brakes being squishy try tapping the lines a bunch opening up the reservoir then spreading the pucks. Let them sit for a while so that the bubbles can rise up to the reservoir. After that pump the brakes by doing a flicking motion against the lever. That should let a lot of air out.

Re: Where da brakes at??

i did the reverse procedure by put a plastic tube over the caliper's nipple. filled 3/4 of the squeeze bottle with brake fluid and start squeeze the bottle. it'll push lot of air out to the top. then u can finish with regular bleeding method.
