Hi, we have tried filling the reservoir and pumping, that don't work
We have tried removing the reservoir and fitting a brake bleeding tool - that don't work
We have tried stripping the master cylinder, cleaning and priming the unit - that don't work
I have tried removing all the allen grub screws on the rear caliper to let the air out - that don't work
I have tried opening the bleed nipple and pumping - that don't work - in fact, the brake seems to suck air back in when the nipple is open
Whatever we do, we can't get the air out
Now at a loss - can anyone help please?
Brake is not actually a Kelgate - it's an MX but, same difference...
