If you&#8217;ve got a spongy pedal, just swapped a caliper, or it&#8217;s been a couple years since the fluid was last changed, bleeding the system is how you bring that firm, confident pedal feel back. It&#8217;s a straightforward job [&#8230;]]]></description>

You press it and instead of firm resistance you get a mushy, compressible feeling, like you&#8217;re pressing on a balloon instead [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Brake fluid is probably the most overlooked component in any braking system.
