took it out for a spin tonight... better, but still not what I was hoping for. Am wondering if I still have a few bubbles in the calipers or something. Have heard that the dot 5 can result in a spongy pedal. Hmmm...

I vacuum bled the system... which did not go as well as I had hoped. The tubing did not seal around the bleeder screw as well as I had hoped. It was sucking some air & therefore bubbling the fluid so was hard to tell if I was getting all the air bubbles out of the system or not. I made sure that I maintained some vacuum whenever I had the bleeder screw open, but that's the best I could do. I was nervous about pulling the bleeder screws & using one of the fittings... seemed like it would be more likely to get air back into the caliper... am I wrong?

May try bleeding it again next weekend & see what happens. Geez, that reservoir is hard to get to... much less to try to keep filled.
