Rear left wheel braking 700


What would cause the rear left wheel not to break at all? I have bled the system all round in correct order, and found out that fluid barely squirts out of the rear left hose. As a matter of course I have changed the hoses in the back. Does the rear have any pressure limiter that could cause ther pressure to drop beyond limit?

    Strange. You should go back to the next brake pipe joint until you get good flow, then test the pipe for blockage.

    Hoses can fail internally so that rubber flaps block fluid flow. See the 700/900 FAQ for details. I suspect you need new hoses, but you won't know that before removing the old one. That is involved due to corrosion, so plan on new hoses anyway.

      But I have changed the hoses in the back and the pressure is still by far unequalized!
