Brake problems!!
Bike was sitting for about a week then yesterday i tried to pull it out to go for a ride and before I started the bike I noticed there was no pressure at all on the brake lever so i pumped it a few times and got back to normal I checked everything to see what was wrong but didnt find anything wrong no leaks, fluid was perfect and bolts were tight!! So I put my helmet and went around the corner to see if they would still work but as soon I started running the bike the pressure was disappearing and for a second i thought I wasnt gonna be able to stop but I pumped the brake lever and got some pressure!! I tried bleeding 3 different times but it keeps doing the same thing, what do you think it could be? thanks in advance!

are the rotors wrapped/bent and pushing the brakes pads out when the wheel spins?

Yup sounds like you bent a rotor ... Jesse did the same thing , his brake rotor came in contact with his wheel chock on his trailer ...Them damn things bend real easy ...

i had the same problem once on a ride and when i pulled over found out that i had picked up about a 5" piece of shoestring on the road and it was lodged between the pad and rotor.

The price we pay for having some of the lightest oem front rotors.
Shane had weight measurements in his build thread.
