Re: brembo squishy?
you still got air in the lines 
There is NO pump up between foot brake and hand brake on my bike, or my friends.. Gotta get ALL the air out..
You can bleed 500 gallons through a system, and not get all the air bubbles out.
You got to flip both masters around while your bleeding if you want every last bit of air out

Re: brembo squishy?
I dont know what u've tried, I've only tried the Brembo master and its not squishy at all one finger lock up and i berly have to press it not even much effort.... my front brakes are way squishy compared to that ****! maybe its the steel braided lines that make my difference....

Until you buy the dual caliper this will always happen.
