Might something in the balance system be bent? I made the mistake of having my
wife stomp the pedal while I bled the brakes, one circuit at a time ? she
pushed very hard and bent one of the rods since one cylinder had no resistance.
Note to self: pressure bleed a balance-bar system next time! This also means
that if one circuit fails and loses fluid the bar will bend again.
