Default Damn it i think i gotta leak

Yea. So my front brake was a little sqeaky yesterday. Not a big deal i guess. Well today I was riding the bike with shorts on, yes I know shorts back off, and I felt some liquid hitting my leg once I got up and going (over 8k). It was raining this morning so you know maybe just some water coming off the bike. (im a very optimistic person). Well I get out of the interview and now the front brake is sqeaking like a bitch when I come to a complete stop. I paused at a red light to look and sure enough my front brake fluid was empty. So I just got home and opend the container up to make sure it wasn't just clear and I couldn't see it, unfortunately it's still empty.

Make sure your brake bleeder nipples are tight, then add some new brake fluid in the resivore. You might want to bleed the brake system to get all the air bubbles out in the line. Also some steel braided lines would be a good idea while you're at it.

What I find disturbing is not that your wearing shorts on a bike but your wearing shorts to a Job Interview.

You need to figure out where that leak is and fast. If you were riding and brake fluid was flying around, that shit will ruin your paint pretty fast, it's nasty stuff.
