Front Brake Lines

[Steve_TLS]

Cable tie on the lever overnight causes the fluid to aborb any small air bubbles in it left over from not bleeding properly.

It's only a temporary fix. Picture a bottle of soft drink when you release the pressure by opening the cap. The gas gets out. Happens in blood too - go diving depressurise too fast, the bends. Bubbles of gas escape from the softdrink / blood / brakefluid when the pressure is gone.

If it doesn't straight away with the pressure release (releasing the lever) it will over time just like softdrink eventually goes flat. Heat will speed it up too.

I always thought two direct lines was a better set up but a hydraulics engineer bloke slapped me up the side of the head when I suggested it. Allegedly the only difference is aesthetics and ease of routing one line from the handlebar v two lines. I think there's a blurb on the Goodridge web site explaining why there's no difference.

yup, the pressure is the same with two lines or twenty lines ! its the same pressure all throughout the system. aesthetics is the obvious benefit. And u get a lot less flex, if any, in braided ones. They dont give u more pressure through the lines, but more movement at the piston as less pressure goes to expanding the hose and more into moving the pistons.
