Changed my brakes to calibra items, but ive got a problem with bleeding the fuckers.
Gone through 2 litres already and theres still wee bubbles in the fluid, never used this much before when bleeding brakes, im guessing theres a leak somewhere? Or have people had experience of using shitloads of fluid to bleed them?

Did you lose alot of fluid when you disconected the old callipers? What does the pedal feel like?

Calipers on the correct sides, bleed nipples at the top?

Yup, all OK.
The bubbles that are in it are only pin head size ones, no bigger ones than that at all.
Took it out 2 mins ago, very shit indeed, pretty much nothing till near the bottom of the pedal, then some shitty braking.
Will bleed it again in a while, just hope ive got enough fluid
