gggrrrr, brakes - how would air in the system affect brake ?
hi there boys,
after fitting braided hoses, bled the system.
something feels quite (not right)
there is a great bite, but you need to pull the lever hard to get the brakes to progress.
hmm, mabe air in the system me thinks. but im sure there shouldnt be.
so i get the brake cleaner out, clean up my calipars, pistons and pads. copper grease up my pins (this time i was surgical, i torqued everything up correctly)
cleaned up the master cyclinder area , checking the whole system for leaks.
checked fluid levels,
now i find that my brakes are binding.
im pretty sure there isnt any air in the system . . . would trapped air cause the brakes to bind ? or is there something else thats gone wrong here ?
