    Tiny bubbles...

    Okay, I installed the SS brakelines and bled the brakelines. I got most of the air out, but there were still some really tiny bubbles. Should I be concerned about them? Should I keep bleeding the lines until there are absolutely NO bubbles?

    BTW, I took the bike out for a test ride and the brakes feel fine.

    Thanks again.

    Perhaps ride it for a little while as long as the brakes are working ok, and then maybe the little bubbles will join together and make a couple big bubbles that you can bleed out in a couple days?

    Chances are the air was getting in around the bleeder valve, I have to use teflon thread tape on mine to keep that from happening.

    It may feel fine now, but you remember what happened to Barn before that parade a couple years back right? I'd get ALL of the air out.
