@@TheBikeSauce Engineering-wise, the master cylinders are identical to XT. Take out the blank cap with a pair of circlip pliers and put a screw in there.

For the bleed is better remove brake pads and push the piston back , insert che the bleed block to lock the pistons. Connect the Shimano funnel with oil and press lever . When you don't see air bubble , remove the funnel with oil , remove the bleed block , reinstall the brake pads and done.

@AwesomeAngryBiker27 күн бұрын
totally wrong dude, You don't need to remove the bolt or olive from the lever, they are left in there intentionally and the cable just sits directly in (after cutting). The other error is the cable is not prefitted with a barb. The thing that's in the cable is a plug simply to stop the mineral oil leaking and this must be removed before attaching to the lever. On the cable just below the sealing plug is a small marking which indicates the minimum amount of cable that MUST BE REMOVED before inserting the supplied barb
@TheBikeSauce27 күн бұрын
😆 removing the olive and nut is a personal preference to make sure the barbed hose sits fully in the lever. Neither correct nor incorrect. Of course the cap on the uncut hose isn’t a barb; we ended up shortening the hose anyway. Why are you an angry biker? Bikes are supposed to be fun 😀
