I just put a set of new pads on the back of my bike and now when I hit the brakes, nothing happens, nothing at all, anybody ever have this problem?
 
I did push in the pistons, and I've been pumping the pedal and the pistons aren't doing anything. I can't imagine how air could have got in but I'm going to buy a self bleeder and try to bleed the air out. The brakes worked perfect before I took off the old pads. WTF ?
 
Ok, thanks guys, I guess I had air in the lines. I pumped and pumped until finally they started grabbing. I bled both front and back now the brakes work better than ever. I guess sometimes just don't exercise enough patience. But thanks again to everyone who at least tried to help. Ed
