Just been doing this u need to test your brakes do a emergency stop they need to all lock pull up straight and maybe a little skid test a few times hope this helps.

i had a bit of trouble bleeding the brakes, i gave them a couple of quick big pumps and then took the n/s rear bleed screw off and swabbed it with a little grease, i swear it helped bleed the brakes.

I would look to see if the pedal is indeed catching on something. Is there some free play at the pedal ??
