Shimano 2 pot lever , 4 pot calliper.

Have put a 4 pot calliper on and now need the lever adjuster wound all the way out.  Normally it’s 3/4 wound out.
Ideally I would like the bite point even further out from the bars  bur I can’t achieve that.

Have bled the brake on the bike to get the callipers as near to the disc as possible.

Any ideas?

I don't believe there is such thing as a two pot lever, so you must just need a better bleed

Can you get the brake set and then do a final bleed (with lever adjuster all the way the other way AND don't reset the pistons)? That should have it set closer so you should need less lever adjustment. Might result in a bit more rub though.

Which brakes? I know with my Deores the lever (M6100) is supplied with both 2 pot (6100) and 4 pot (6120) calipers when you buy a complete set.

Are we talking older lever with new 4 piston calipers?

Bleed it better?
