Just ordered a new Canyon. Being from Germany i assume it will have the brakes the "wrong" way round? Can you swap the zee levers over easily? Or will they need bleeding? Cheers!

9 times out of 10 they'll swap over easily enough. Just don't squeeze the levers with the hoses loose or drop a hose end. I find it best to loosen both off to hand tight then swap them simultaneously.

Usually pretty easy and doesn't need a bleed. Easier with 2 people. Just unscrew the hoses at the lever end and swap. 2nd person can hold one steady while you unscrew the other so you don't need a skilled assistant and can get away with it on your own if you are careful.
