Righto,

I rebuilt my brakes the other week....
Bled the absolute shite out of them with a one way hose thingy.....
adjusted them (and yes in the same way as the forward motion of the wheel.

NOW when im stationary the pedal is hard (which is good) but the faster i go the pedal gets softer... wierd or not?
any advice is good advice

Cheers Hoba

Yep, weird.

How are the wheel bearings? Movement can push the brakes back causing a bad pedal.
