HarrisonV97 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Hi guys I've tried to fill my hydraulic brake for the 2nd time today it's turned out better than the first one as the pads actually squeeze together but there's no pressure on it and it's no where near responsive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Sounds like you've still got air trapped in it. How did you do it? What process? what fluid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrisonV97 Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I did the process in the Magura video I think you posted and made sure there where no air bubbles coming through just solid fluid, the pad without the bleed nipple looks fine as it's close to the rim but the one with the bleed nipple isn'tt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might just need to adjust your cyclinders closer/further away from the rim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I mean, you say one cylinder is further away from the rim than the other one? Simply unscrew the 4 bolts clamping the brake to the bike and push them further closer to the rim? I think that's what you meant anyway.

kaybs41282 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Are both pads moving out at the same time/same amount? Sounds similar to an issue I had which turned out to be a leak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
