Spongy brakes

Brakes are firm after a bleed, but after a day they become spongy? No apparent leaks. Any suggestions?

it sounds like you have air in the braking SYSTEM, also make sure no water has got on to the system. if you pump the pedal, does the foot brake go hard, if so it is air the system, I would have the fluid flushed through with new brake fluid. the other way you can tell if it is air, hold Your foot on the brake pedal, if the pedal slowly finds it way going down to the floor, its air in the SYSTEM

with all new brakes and lines like u have had done dose feel spongy for a while until its all bedded in if u don't feel safe with it have the system re bled there may still b a bit of air trapped in it

brake fluid attracts water

Stuffed master, not air in the system.
