I built this bike a couple years ago but the brakes we always sub-par. This winter I redesigned the system and now absolutely can not get them to work. Here's the set up -
Brand new 3/4" master
Brand new -3 an braided lines
Two (not rebuilt) but perfectly working Brembos
Brand new aluminum crush washers everywhere.
Dot 3 synthetic fluid.
For whatever reason, I CAN NOT get pressure to build. But, as near as I can tell, I have no air in the lines. I have a mity vac and I've pumped 3 full resevoirs full of fluid and it's all clean, no bubbles. But, I step on the pedal - nothing.
When I break the bleeders, clear fluid, no bubbles.
I've bled the system at all of the banjos.
I've used my my mity vac until the cup is completely full and there's just no pressure.
No leaks anywhere. No bubbles coming out.
Anyone have a clever suggestion?
