Haven't changed to a tandem. I will make this work!!!

 All cylinders have been honed smooth. One of them honed too much, henceforth the slight leaking of fluid. I will be readjusting the brakes today and testing the pedal. If this does not work, I'm going back to the cylinders too see if there is another leaker.
