[BFix] hydraboost question

[Roger]

I forgot about the air.  When I added a big cooler to my return line the
brakes acted all kinds of 'funny' for quite awhile after that.  The
reservoir kept loosing fluid but not leaking.  It finally quit and the
brakes are perfect.

I talked to PSC and Mark at Wild Horses (they sell the Hydratech set-up). 
Mark called Hydratech and they said sounds like air bubbles still in the 
system.  PSC told me the same.  Guess I will just keep bleeding it.  Thanks 
for the input.
