Re: [ST] For Brakes as Hard as Abs

[Matt Knowles <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had success with fixing my mushy brakes, just by pulling the 
lever back as hard as I can a few times. No need to even wait 
overnight. Since it has been this easy to fix them, I've never been 
bothered trying to figure out why they get mushy, not have I ever 
disassembled the brakes in an attempt to fix them.
