fill your brake rezzie,pump the lever about 10 times,hold it and loosen the bleed valve while holding the lever and tighten the valve.only on 1 side.do that about 10 times then do the other side.keep filling the rezzie.it takes a while but eventually you will start to feel resistance in the lever.i had the same problem with no resistance in the lever and i was about maddd.take your time.if that dont work,check out the faq section and look for bleeding brakes jabber style....have fun
