Hi,
My dad gave me his GLX recently but the front brake is quite useless.
I have tried cleaning the front disk to remove grease
I have tried tightening the cable
The pads looks OK from the angle I can see them at (there is no grinding to suggest the pads are worn)
But the front brake only slows the bike when there's no weight on it. While I'm on it, it doesn't work.
I don't fully understand how the hydraulics work but my only assumption I have left is that there is no fluid in the hydraulic? Is there anything else I can check?
