That's the thing, I feel no force feedback. When i slam on the brakes it'll go down as far as it can easily, I don't feel any resistance.

Edit: I only feel resistance in the last 1/2" of pedal travel.
Also I guess a way to describe the feeling would be like when your bicycle brake line is slack, it'll brake but you feel no/minimal resistance.

I'll have to try that tomorrow.

Thanks for all the help guys.
