Assuming there's air at the top of the brake system, job today is to bleed from MC end, then pressurise system and bleed from nipples.
When bleeding before, the handbrake wasn't raised/applied
The brake lines which were bent/held up were the flexy lines on the front, and held up with string, so I can see there's no kinks in these lines ,and, I don't think there's a bias valve on this ... I'll have a another check later and return with some news.
no confusion on drums - if handbrake mech isn't adjusted properly, then the hydraulic cylinder has to move a lot more to move the sames shoes - hence long pedal travel till bite
