Front brakes

So what probably takes most of you a day or two has taken me three weeks of piddling an hour or two at a time. Finally got the front
brakes completed, new lines, new master cylinder and pads. having bled the brakes a couple times I'm still getting a soft feel on the
lever unless pumped a few times. At no time was air introduced back into the system, a power bleeder was used, all fittings double checked for tight,
master not leaking. is this typical until the pads have a chance to seat? thanks Greg

Try cable-tying the brake lever back to the bar & leaving it overnight. Come the morning you should have a good solid lever feel. If not you have further problems.

Backwards bleed thm with a syringe from the calipers up to the master cylinder.
Did mine in less than 15 minutes.
Air likes to travel UP and not DOWN !
