Wife says it's hard,I think it could be harder

hows that for a header?

Spongy soft brakes saga......continued

I bought one of those mighty-vac style bleeder pumps. Tried it out today. Can't tell if my air is coming from the bleeder threads or out of the system. But I am sucking some air for sure.

Did the rounds 2 or 3X with it...Then got the wife in the car to pump it 5 times& hold for each corner. Did that 3X around too andshe says its definitely harder on the first pump than last weekend when I got her involved initially.

I don't hit the floor anymore on the first pump, its about half way.
The next pump is half that again for travel.

Is it just a matter of getting a feel for manual brakes seems the pedal could have been higher on first stab.

I will continue to bleed it later. BTW I have floor mounted pedals with a bit of mechanical advantage in the pedal leverage on that piston...Getting a feel for it may be a matter of a raodtest which is much later. I don't know how touchy this type of brake effort will translate on the road
