*urgent* NO BREAKS!?
Ok, i went to straighten out my front forks so i loosed **** i didnt need to (found that out after the fact of course, big pain in the ***) and i had to remove the line goin to my front breaks in order to get to one of the bolts. After re-connecting the front break line to the resivour i found i have 0 front breaks.
Ok so i blead the front breaks thinkin this would fix it.... no... still no front breaks??? the break fluid is full, the breaks are blead and i have very little front breaks??? Whats wrong? There are 2 washers around each side of the end piece that connects to the resivour, i thought one went on the inside of the adapter and one went to the outside then the bolt went through the middle (duh) is it possible that maybe both washers go out on one side? this is the only thing i can think of cause that would cause maybe not enough fluid to get through the hole in the center of the bolt that holds it together.
Dont really feel safe riding untill i get this fix, so someone please help me ASAP.

Re: *urgent* NO BREAKS!?
theres more than one way to bleed the brakes. i leave the cap on, pump the brakes about ten times then with the lever in, i loosen the bleeder to let the air out, tighten the bleeder and then i let the lever out. i do this about 3 times and the brakes work great. you have to keep adding fluid too
