Default Re: front brake is a bit erm...

Maybe you're being paranoid. See below for a clue...

But if you squeeze hard enough at a stand still i can get the lever back to the bar. I've got newish pads and disks (about 500 miles new) on the front and also new fluid. I've bled them til i'm blue in the face, and I've got fluid only coming outta the nipples with no air bubbles.

Any one have any thoughts?...Questions?
