Guys... bleeding my front brakes as I've done loads of times... really struggling to get a good "pedal".. easily pull lever back to grip... using a wee Halfords brake bleed kit with non return valve which has worked brilliantly in the past. My DOT 4 was an opened container from last May that I used circa 100mil from.... very much doubt I've rolled a seal...

Calipers immaculate.. new pads... pistons retracted slowly perfectly well..... Im away to buy some fresh Fluid, possibly absorbed some moisture ?

Any thoughts.


Cheers

If its not properly sealed I suspect the fluid may be no good due to the hydro thingy effect. Sorry but cant be arsed to google it :).
 
Yep could have absorbed too much water.
Also leave the cap loose overnight and cable tie the brake on...might let air bubble out of the m/c
