Did u bleed them with a spacer block in them or just with the disc in place? i have a feeling if you bleed them with the disc in place instead of a block you would possibly get rid of the piston coming back to far....

Glad to here im not the only one with issues with Tektro brakes, did you use a specific bleed kit or will any kit work?

im so fed up with them that bleeding them myself will be the last resort. if that doesnt improve them then they are destined for for the bin.

I got a nipple from ukbikes see url it fits at top by leave. I comes with plastic tube. I borrowed syringes can get on ebay for a couple of quid. I think you can get them for free.

As said this thread nwmlarge posted there better videos on pinkblike.
