Thumbs up Re: how to bleed front brake

this is how i do mine buddy
remove top off the resevour
top up with dot 4 brake fluid then loosen off the bleed nipple
gently squeeze the brake lever all the way in and hold it in
now tighten the bleed nipple release brake lever and loosen bleed nipple
sqeeze all the way in with brake and hold it in so fluid comes out the nipple
just keep repeating this prosses BUT make sure you keep the resevour toped up dont let it go down to low or you will end up sucking air back in to the line

another tip if your riding the night before zip tie your front brake lever
up tight this will remove any air slowly over night and a firmer front brake this can be done with the back brake also just make sure you cut the zip tie off before you try and move your bike lol

hope this helps use the same bleeding prosses for the back

one tip is cut a hole the cap off of a water bottle and take a piece of hose that will fit on the bleeder screw and put that in the bottle cap.
