Got the new prop valve from Chuck the other day and stripped the crap out of one of the ports so I can't use it anymore.

Decided just to completely remove the prop valve from my system all together (AGAIN) since the old one was acting funny and I had nothing to replace it with anyway. Bled the crap out of it and still no change.

I think I remember reading something years ago about how air can ghet trapped in the calipers since the bleeds are on the side in the middle. Can anyone confim this?

I should get home from this trip the day before URE (I HOPE) and will try to remove the calipers and bleed them at an angle as a last ditch effort to get some decent braking action before I leave on Friday. Otherwise, I will have to suck it up and deal with what I have.

Let's face it, I didn't have brakes last year and only a couple of people had their life flash before their eyes. Smile
