There isn't really any pumping action to it. There's about an inch of pedal play and then it's damn near as hard as a rock after that. It's not like my Duster where first thing in the morning the pedal travels farther than normal. Once I back out of the driveway and head down the street, the pedal is back up to normal. This Valiant pedal is just the same no matter what.
I'm going to replace the front shoes and get a smaller bore MC and see what happens.
