Right just fitted newly serviced brakes, new pads etc. IIRC are you meant to prep the pads? Kinda go fast and slam on the anchors several times?

Also the rear is still a bit mushy any last minute tips? I remember a method with car brakes that you could keep the pressure on and the air would work its way to the top? Anything like that? TBH its not too bad and I'm not gonna start arsin about too much because I'm riding tomorrow........with mushy brakes :roll:
 
Ride with the brake dragging and progressively apply more pressure then stop and soak it in water , repeat a few times .
 
Cheers buddy though I reckon both need a bleed :evil: there turning into a bloody liability. £150 on servicing/hosing alone and there still as saft as shite.
 
You can try zips to hold the levers to the bars overnight, might force out any remaining air, if not then bleed them its pretty straight forward :wink:
