Possibly coincided with the bike (and me) being blown over (I wasn't riding at the time).</p> <p>Walked/slid down and sometime later as I cycled down the path from Straiton back to town it slowly returned, and seemed fine by Musselburgh.</p> <p>I there anywhere that air can hang out, not effect the brakes normally, but get into the cylinders or pipes when the bike is inverted? </p>
