Caleb, It might be nice with a bath, but I think he bent the frame with that homemade tow rig in it.

Oh, I thought that was a part of a swing set

Looked like one of those shark swimming cages to me.

With the wet and slick roads we've had lately, combined with minimal tread on my tires, my abs has attempted to work recently. Its pretty terrible. Pedal goes to the floor, and its scared me a couple times. Need to un-abs that sthi asap.

Sounds like the dump valve is hanging up wide open, that'd sure make a guy panic if he didn't know it.

That would sure amplify the pucker factor. Nothing worst then pushing the brakes and it hitting the floor after attempting to stop.

what is this dump valve you speak of? the one in the abs thinger?

Yeah, on the left rear framerail.
The valve pulsates back and forth, which is why the pedal "vibrates" on a 1stgen, but with no movement over 20 odd years, many of them will stick in one position or the other.
SOMETIMES it sticks at the bottom of the bore and can cause the mushy/low pedal feeling.
