[QUOTE="RageD, post: 211948, member: 4512"] I bled from both banjo's just now (at least 10 times a piece) and there doesn't seem to be any change :( still a pretty soft lever. I took the caliper off the bike and started observing it. Something interesting (if totally unrelated) is that it seems only the bottom piston is raising when I pump up the brakes without anything there (see picture). [ATTACH=full]30654[/ATTACH] If I hold that bottom piston in place, the top one will happily raise instead. I noticed this by accident trying to see if I could mimic the situation where your buddy grabs your lever when you have working breaks (and you have to pry the pads apart). Spoiler: I could not reproduce this. Does this indicate that there is air stuck in the cylinders? Would it be better for me to tear the whole thing down and try again from dry? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
