mint_jay Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 After riding for five or ten minutes the front brake looses power. When I pull the bike up onto the back wheel, lean it back and pump the brake 15-20 times it goes back to its original state. Anybody have any ideas why this is?? Cheers.
