I did that and it didn't help when you are trying to go backwards.
I thought you were talking about the plastic collecting bottle. lol, I see you were talking about YOU flalling over.

I just wanted to point out the 5 wheel roller stool was awesome.
Yes, I realized the value of the roller garage stool after burning and dragging my ass and knees for 3 years making working on the bike a physical chore. I always used to be very sore after a mod job. Now it is such a breeze. Reminding of breeze I also bought a Windtunnel fan from Walmart that eliminated a lot drenched shirts from the heat in the garage and the running bike.
I can sympathize with that. My garage is only 8-1/2' x 15-1/2'. Not to mention my 48 year old knees that I abused doing stupid kid stuff growing up. I'm definitely paying for it now. If I ever come back in another life I'm going to forget sports and join the chess club at school!
I have a bleeding question. The last time I bled the front brakes I didn't use the vacuum tool. I remember that I had taped the brake lever in the compressed position. I'm thinking that I should have done that even with the tool. I took the bike out for the first time today to work and the brakes felt spongy. I bled them with the brake lever "off" and I'm thinking that when I was done bleeding, that initial pull on the lever still has a pocket of air in it. I'm gonna redo it tomorrow when I get home from work tomorrow. What do you guys think?
If when you replaced the calipers you let the reservoir go dry there is a good possibility that you have some air trapped at the top banjo bolt on the master cylinder. You may want to bleed the master cylinder by loosening the banjo bolt and see it the brakes feel better.
Thanks Lee, gonna do that as soon as I get home from work today. I remember keeping the lever fully in the last time I bled them but it slipped my mind this time.
Speedbleeders. Quicker and simpler than vacuum pumps. I still have my MightyVac but I don't use it for brake bleeding anymore.
