[Resolved] [Technical] 'Soft' front brakes
#22
If the problem was not there before you changed the fitting then it is most likely air.

I presume you are bleeding them correctly.
Pump the lever, hold it, release the nipple, keeping pressure on the lever. do up the nipple, release the lever. Restart pumping the lever again.

If tying up the lever like His Dudeness says does not work try bleed the lines from the master cylinder down by loosening the banjo bolt like the bleed nipples.
If no success, remove the calipers one side at the time and push the pistons back fully, use a clamp or something to hold them in the fully pushed back position. Now bleed them again, you will need a helper to pump the lever, while you open and close the bleed nipple.

Sometime air can get trapped around banjo or in the calipers and this normally resolves it.
