New 596’s fitted.
Hoses too long and lever feel / a quick rider up and down the road indicates they need a bleed.
Using the Epic Bleeds 2 syringe kit I shorten and bleed the rear brake with just minor dramas… so long 1 x new set of brake pads…. 🙄
Moving on to the the front (not sure it means anything but, it was by far the worst of the two brakes ‘out of the box’ – lever pulling to the handle bars pretty easily). Hose shortened. Bleed kit set up. I push the syringe at the caliper end. Unlike the rear, where gentle pressure saw the lever syringe fill, the front feels it needs a touch more pressure but, result = fluid not going into the syringe but coming out from under the reservoir cover… 😐
Any thoughts, please?
Cheers
Chris
