brakes not working!

[zfrank07]

went riding last week in the snow... and brakes quit working....finally took em apart and found out that the pads were worn out, replace them, and now still have no brakes. What could be the problem?

You are either loosing fluid pressure somewhere, or the rotor is bent. If the rotor is bent, you would be able to pump the brakes and have them for a second. If you are loosing fluid pressure, you won't have them at all.

the rotor isnt bent at all....where could i possibly lose fluid pressure, any common areas to check?

my first step would be to just run your hand or a paper towel over the whole break line. if its wet you have a problem. then you need to find the crack, hole, w.e it is.
