bleeding brake problem
ok here is the scoop, I like a dumb-*** left my brake lock on and started to ride off. Yes got about half of a revolution on the front wheel and it slammed into my brake. Yes like I said dumb.... I removed the brake and inspected rotor no visible damage. While the caliper was off I checked to see if the brake worked it was fine. I have no pressure in the system and after bleeding brakes twice I still cant hold pressure. It stays for a second then as I roll it forward it goes to ****. any help would be great. Also Ive gone to a couple shops in the area and none seem worth a **** anybody have a good line on a shop?
The rotor is bent. I bet you a dollar you get a new rotor and it will be fine. Rotors are expensive so I would take the rotor off and have it checked. Set it on a flat surface (granite table, countertop) and check with feeler gages. Cause if you buy one and don't need it my dollar won't cover it.
Oh and ask me how I know........ LOL Don't feel bad it happens

Mate, I don't have enough fingers to count how many people I know that have done the same or similar thing with disc brake locks, chains & cables (some still attached to poles). I think some of the disc lock manufacturers actually give you some luridly bright thingo to go with your keys so you get a reminder.
