Brake system;
Braking has got progressively worse, i got some new pads, quite good ones infact, drained the system, and set about fitting them.
Have discovered BOTH seals on one side of my four pot non-sliding brake caliper are buggered and the pistons pretty much dont move (hence why only one pad is worn down and the other isnt that bad), so i had to really squeeze in the other side. Now they are bloody far in and the pad and old pad that hadnt worn much are in and it fits round the disc. But in doing so (i had the caliper off) i accidentally ended up draining the caliper (when turned upside down/pistons pushed in etc)
Anyway put it all back together, filled reservoir at the top and undid nipple. SOme bubbles came up but NOTHING else. None is moving through. I am not an expect on brake systems whatsoever however i knew draing the calipers is not good. But is there anyway people can suggest to fix it? Or at least why it is doing this, if its a common fault and easy to fix etc.
Quick reply would be excellent as all the stuff is out at the moment and i dont wish to lose anything. ____________________ China traffic/travel bike vid - When I make a sweeping statement, please add the word 'statistically' in to the sentence before you bitch...

Who the man... G the man!
Used a contact lense solution bottle, altho it aerated the brake fluid something cronic. Never mind, i will bleed it again in a couple of days when it has settled down.
I also changed the oil and oil filter. Its like a whole new bike. Altho im not certain ive run in the new piston ring enough yet. ____________________ China traffic/travel bike vid - When I make a sweeping statement, please add the word 'statistically' in to the sentence before you bitch...
