Hi Everyone,
I'm generally pleased with the braking performance of my Wee, however i've noticed that the front brake feels a bit too long. The braking power seems ok (no emergency braking so far) but i just hate the feeling of touching my other two fingers with the lever when braking. I've bled the breaks with little to no change. Here an explanation: I did it once with just the tools that came with the bike and was able just to work on the right caliper, the other bleeding bolt was not cooperative. After this, the brake got indeed better. Finally i got a decent wrench yesterday and i decided to complete the job on the left caliper. To my surprise the brake got longer again.
Should i re-do the bleeding again in both calipers? Is it normal? (taking into account the 101000 km of the bike :yikes: ) By the way the pads are not too old, may be 5000 km or so (changed by the previous owner), they seem to have still some life on them. But i'm planning a long trip (3000 km or so) and if i want something to be working fine that's my front brake.
I appreciate your advices, as always.
Regards,
