Recently bought this bike used and found that the front brakes aren't grabbing like they should. They grab and slow the bike down, but they don't grab hard and won't come close to locking up. Even rolling the bike by hand and grabbing them, the front wheel doesn't lock.
Yesterday I put on new brake pads and bled the line. Checked it and still the same. It seems like both pistons on the caliper are moving freely. I'm guessing I need to rebuild the master cylinder. I've never had this issue on a bike.
Doesn't appear to have any leaks either.
Anything else I should be looking at?
