RE: bleeding brakes ?
I changedthebrake pads on my sporty and it seems like I've been pulling the front brake leverforever. I still have the calliper off the fork because I thought it would be easier that way. Am I goofing up or is this normal? Something doesn't seem right.
There's got to be an easier way.

RE: bleeding brakes ?
I use the stainless'speed bleeders' on all my bikes, and it makes bleeding the brake system a simple, one person operation.
You loosen the bleeder, 'pump' the brake, and when you release the brake pedal a ball bearing in the bleeder drops down to prevent air from entering the system.
Once youhave the air removed you just tighten the bleeder and the job is done. Very easy and simple, and I'm not sure why more people don't use these stainless speed bleeders on their bikes (and cars/trucks as well).
You don't have to pump the brake, tighten the bleeder, loosen the bleeder,over and over and over...
