Yeah at this stage I'm giving anything a go to get it working. But the seals are genuine brand new.
Some say that he submitted a $20000 expense claim for some gravel

And that if he'd write a letter of condolance he would at least spell your name right.

Rightio update time. After acquiring an 05 caliper I'm 95% there just a bit of air in the system to bleed out.

Didn't we have this discussion a month ago... trying to bleed an air bubble from the bottom is fighting a battle as the oil moves down the bubble wants to do what bubbles do and float Up. Maybe burning1 mentioned it. I don't know  :dunno_black:

I never saw that I don't think. Newhoo turns out my master cylinder kit from eBay was causing bypass and letting more air into my system. But with a genuine one in there now I'm 97% snd the lever feeks much better. So to recap. I've not got an 05 caliper, braided line and a rebuilt master cylinder.

And has it fixed your problem?

Bit of an update on my brake, I still was not 100% happy with the feel of it compared with other bikes ive been trying out etc. So I went with a whole new setup for my front brake, the feel is solid yet progressive. Even when I 'grab' the brake the front doesnt lock (yes I know I shouldnt Im getting though this stage), and must say the new lever is very cool. Estimates are about 3 times more powerful than the original.
