Front brake - trapped air

[Ped]

Bill,

Yes, I did ride the bike recently. More specifically about 4400 km's 
(2735 miles) going uphill and downhill in the Pyrenees and the Alps, 
just three weeks ago :-) Some of the French roads were quite bumpy, so 
if there were any bubbles that could be shaken loose I guess that trip 
would have made it... It can still brake hard, but the lever has to be 
pulled almost all the way to the handle bar....
