Poor front brake.

guarntee'd no air in the system, lever goes right back to the bars and stops but the pressure is really poor. cleaned the caliper out and everything.

whats the chances of it being the hose its self or the master seals?

yea mate, thing was okay'ish when i got it,changed the fluid as it was black and full of debris.

ever since with new fluid, new pads, new caliper seals, new banjo washers etc its been rubbish.
