Hope this is the correct place to put this, maybe someone can move it if not!
I've been helping a mate to (fail to) get the brakes working on his van, and it's reminded me of a question that's always bugged me. When bleeding dual-circuit brakes with a tandem M/C, how is it possible to pump the pedal with one bleed nipple open? In my mind that equates to a damaged circuit situation and the other circuit should still pressurise and stop the pedal going down. Shouldn't it?
