Air must be getting in somewhere - have to bleed the bleeder every few weeks. Good thing is I'm getting quite good at it........

Hoses seem to be attached okay - any ideas?

thanks

Worth checking if the valve core is tight or leaking first.

@ zangolin - is that the valve core in the bottom of the post you are talking about? I don't really understand these things - how would that let air into the fluid?
thanks

Check the hose is really tight on the barbs. Mine needed bleeding all the time and this was the issue, the seatpost end wasn't wound onto the barb properly after I changed the hose

Richmtb - I thank thee - or at least I think I do. Barb at remote end was loose - got about 3 or 4 full turns on it. Should be sorted - cheers
