Guys,
I am getting a new BMC as mine has HUGE travel, and sinks when you hold your foot on it. I have bled the brakes 2 or 3 times already but I can't find the bleed nipple on the passenger rear drum. Am I being thick or is there not one on there?
Thanks

Re: Bleeding the rear drums
It should be in the back of the wheel cylinder (sheared off?). Masses of travel doesn't sound good but on the later m/cylinder (Teves?) the pedal does creep, something to do with the abs I suspect.

Thought it should have one but couldn't see it. Think it'll need a stiff brush off at the back, will nick a bleed nipple from another car 
Long travel is a bit of an understatement. New BMC has arrived, mine is an early one without ABS which makes life a lot easier. Looks like tomorrow will be busy with the brakes and rad change
