This weekend i replaced my pads on my front brakes and then flushed the old fluid and put new fluid in, and bleed both brakes. The problem is the front braked are really spongy and don't completely stop just a quick slow down, and my bleeder valves seem to be licking a little around the threads. Any suggestions on the this problem?

these brakes are generally very hard to bleed. you may have to use a mighty vac or something. take the bleaders out and make sure they arent messed up where they seat into the caliper

Hey thanks, i figured something was wrong, i must have spent about 1 hour bleeding the lines and the brakes weren't getting very tight, it was driving me crazy!
