Try to tap the lines while bleeding them. It loosens the bubbles up to the top. You may have to bleed them a couple of times after riding to get all the air out. I was thinking of using something that vibrates and attach it to the lines while bleeding them. Sex toys?

i am trying the zip tie trick today. put it on when i got home from work. i will tell you if they feel any better. ive bled these bad boys over 5 times now. i will try anything at this point.

Just an update. Thanks KevyzToy! the zip tie worked like a freakin charm. i was a little skepticle at first...but it got that excess air outta there and she feels just right. perfect for the last few bubbles. sweeeeeet!!!

I didn't care for speed bleeders too much. They make it easy and not messy, but I just couldn't get good hard pressure on my lever with them.
Another tip after bleeding zip tie the brake lever closed to the handlebar. It will force air to the top of the resivor
