Default RE: brakes

You have to bleed your brakes. You need another person the press the brake while you bleed it. Check out the D.I.Y. for brake bleeding. If there isn't something there google search it. I would explain the process but I'm not good at describing how. It's relatively easy though.

Good luck.
