total fail! still has zero pressure after new pads and fussing with the syringes and extracting air bubbles / adding oil. and now in addition a bit of oil squirts out of the reservoir cap cover, lol.
Sometimes when I put new pads on the mtb I have to pump the lever a lot before I get anything. Then it's mushy until I ride a bit. It only does it on the rear, maybe a sticky piston, idk. I've never bled them, or any disc brake on a bike.
