    I recently replaced my wheels and noticed that my Clark S2 hydraulic disc brakes both front and rear have lost their bite!
    I’ve not used the bike in about 2 weeks, in that time the bike has been sat upside-down,
    is it possible that the brakes need bleeding?
    All was well before the new wheels went on and I’ve readjusted the caliper to sit over the disc correctly.
    I’ve even replaced the rear pads and I’ve still not got the bite it once had,

    Seems very strange to need bleeding because the bikes been stored upside down.

    Avids do this if bike up ended. With avids all that needs doing is pumping the lever for a minute or two.

    put the bike the right way up
    zip tie the levers back to the grips
    leave overnight
    will be sorted in the morning.

    Bearing in mind I went out out on a 6 mile ride this morning, with no bite returning, however I’ll give it a go…
