I have the caliper off with a nearly-vertical line to get all the air out as I squirt fluid into the caliper with a syringe. But it's taking two hands to make sure the hose doesn't slip off the bleed...

    bleeding maguera brakes

    i'm getting my cc bike ready to sell, and the brakes need to be bled pretty bad...at least i think thats what it is...basically when i squeeze the lever it goes all the way to the handle bars just to get the pads to touch the rotor. i have the pads dialed in pretty close...i've had to get my...
