OK I bought some 2010 (I think) SLX levers brand new last month to replace the horrible 2007 flappy paddle xt all in one shifter levers units my bike came with.
I was recomended that if I was carefull I could disconnect the hoses from the old units, connect them to the new ones olive and all and then simply blead out any air and I'll be ready to go. Sounds simple doesn't it?
I followed the instructions in my manual and the stuff that came with the levers, but I just can't get it to work. There is no build up of pressure in the levers, they just flap about and I can't see any evidence of the pads moving when I depress the levers having sealed them all up.
Are the hoses/olive/valves diferent sizes?
Any help or answers greatfully recived or if you live in Notts I will gladly supply a crate of beer of something in return for a visit and some working brakes. I've booked Friday off work to go riding and really don't want to let my mates down.
