Bleeding brakes

I've had to bleed my back brake several times with limited success but never touched the front one.
Monday I noticed that the lever on my front brake had more travel then normal.
Out with the Haynes manual. Did both of the calipers with no noticable improvement. Bleed from the valve at the resovoir, instant result. Now back to as it was, if not better.

Don't you just love it when you're able to do a job yourself.

There's a great deal of satisfaction in knowing that you can maintain your own bike, even if it is only the simple stuff!

So do you fancy a ride out one fine evening then Col? Might have to get the 748 out for a change.
