All right... so maybe I have a problem with the front brakes?

Right on.  I'll have more time to look at them this weekend in the daylight.  I've got new pads on the way, too.

I went on a ride Monday night, and the pulsing didn't seem so bad... of course, I wasn't using them as hard as I was the week previously... so that sort of points to the buttons, I'm thinking, or the fluid.

Fluid won't cause pulsation.

That's right... air in the line causes the brakes to drag or mush, not pulse.
