Bleeding rear brakes?
Just put a rear caliper on my curvy but can't seem to get all the air out by conventional bleeding.
Any tips for getting the air out?

Re: Bleeding rear brakes
have you tried the. pressure, open bleed nipple, close bleed nipple, repeat method?
also you can get a small air trap in the MC so sometimes putting a rag to catch the brake fluid and then put a little pressure on the pedal and cracking the MC banjo open then closing it again before you get to the full stroke of the brake pedal gets rid of it. |

I do but it's at work. Mostly sort the bike at home. Hour round trip to there. Easier just to bring the few needed tools home unless I'm in need of the tyre changer or the acetylene chain breaker. LOL  Edit: (or the vacuum bleeder) Wouldn't this be a nice tag for the mc pic game? Your bike with bits being cut off. LOL

Hey, Bibio - make sure it's a Scottish pint - US ones are 20% off!

Re: Bleeding rear brakes?
ill give that a bash, its annoying cos the fluid comes out both bleeding nipples, the brake pedal is really loose feeling but it does brake eventually.
