its been about 3 years since ive been on this site.

so yo.

I haven't rode in almost a year, and i SUCKED when I did.
REGARDLESS! I've almost sold my bike 3 times, but finally decided to start riding again.

enough of that now to my question:

Right before I stopped riding, I replaced my rear rotor (8inch haynes hydro) and line. It worked fine for a month or so, but all of a sudden, it no longer works. I squeeze the lever and it throws all the way back, but negative on braking.

I assume the hydrolic braking system is similar to a cars breaking system (working on cars is more of a fotre for me).

Could there be a lack of fluid in the line?
Any easy ways to diagonoise my problem?

thanks

Probably a leak in the line. Try bleeding them. http://www.hayesdiscbrake.com/support_downloads.shtml

Probably just an air bubble, a bleed should mos def fix it. I think Hayes suggests replacing the fluid in the brakes every year, it starts to break down and get watery.
