I broke my nipple off the rear brake ad replaced it with a stainless big bolt thing with stainless nipple inside it .
I can't say it didnt do iit before otherwise I wouldn't have been messing with the nipple in the first place to break it!
Basically after 2-3 months the rear pedal travels fully down and offers little or no braking effort until I re bleed it.
The question.......... Do I need to or should I have 'sealed' or glued in the stainless repair thing - or is it likely to be something else that's leaking air in and what/ how can I check?
