Re: [ST] bleeding brakes



More ideas:
Air tends to accumulate in the line between the calipers.  Try
removing the left caliper and support it so that it is "up bubble"
from the other caliper.  Then place a spacer between the pads which
won't do any damage - I use a piece of flat metal about the same
thickness as a brake rotor - and bleed that caliper.   Bet you get
some air out of it.  Reinstall the caliper and torque to 40nm.

Once you have some brake feel, compress the brake lever with a hook &
loop (aka Velcro) strap or 'bungee' cord & leave the bike overnight.
Good luck,
