brake bleeding after mc replacement...

[andrew.stauffer@cannondale.com (Andrew Stauffer)]

Hey gang, 
I need some brake bleeding advice/help.  

I have recently replaced EVERY piece of the braking system on my A1.
Everything is new.  22mm MC, 16v rocco booster, calipers, lines, 16v rocco
prop valves, stainless steel flex lines, all have been replaced.  I used
10.1" up front, Mk 4 rear calipers in the back.  

The catch is, no matter how much fluid I push through the system, I can't
get  a firm brake pedal.  I have built a pressure bleeder that does a
beautiful job of pushing fluid into the mc and it comes out of the bleed
valves very nicely, air free.  But still the pedal is mush.   

There's air in the system *somewhere* but I can't seem to find it.  I wonder
if the Mk4 rear calipers need to be unbolted and tilted like the 16v rocco
rear calipers to get the perfect bleed......anyone got any ideas about how
to find and eliminate that air pocket?
