... and still used the same fittings as everyone else in the market.Say what you will about Hayes mag 9/etc, they were butt simple to bleed.
Yes.OK, so i had the brilliant idea of over-pressurizing the system (with the syringe pushing oil into the caliper with the lever port closed) to get the lever to engage more quickly. All I suceeded in doing was getting the extra oil to come out of the end of the master cylinder...did I fuck it all up?
You can kinda see where it came out here.
I would strongly suggest that you...In all seriousness, what should I do now?
The bite point is the same as before, but a tiny bit of oil squeezes out of the end, and I don't think that can be good.
put the syringe back on, pump the lever a few times to equalize the pressurez, remove syringe. Profit!In all seriousness, what should I do now?

It is that simple? Syringe on the caliper, leaving the lever port closed?put the syringe back on, pump the lever a few times to equalize the pressurez, remove syringe. Profit!
no put the syringe on the lever MC bleed port.It is that simple? Syringe on the caliper, leaving the lever port closed?
Do you have a Shimano bleeding cup? Put it on with some oil in it, pump the lever a couple of times, pray that you didn't blow the rubber.It is that simple? Syringe on the caliper, leaving the lever port closed?
I tried that, I am afraid that I did the latter.Do you have a Shimano bleeding cup? Put it on with some oil in it, pump the lever a couple of times, pray that you didn't blow the rubber.
cura it nao?Pretty sure I got the air out, I have a whole host of new problems now, I think.
I was going to say that...
Yeah I'm close to a year now with no problems...........except Magura's trademarked Rapid Pad Wear.I was going to say that...
2 months in issue-free.
New pads tonight. Fingers crossed.
Yeah. I was shocked how quickly I went through my first set of rear pads. I’ve still got a bit of life left in them, but not much.Yeah I'm close to a year now with no problems...........except Magura's trademarked Rapid Pad Wear.
I don't ride very hard and prefer the resin pads over the sintered ones, mostly because my bike sounds like a train and it makes me realize how much I brake when I really don't need to.
They have always been the same, but all of my previous sets sucked, hahaha!Yeah. I was shocked how quickly I went through my first set of rear pads. I’ve still got a bit of life left in them, but not much.
I just did my first bleed on them for the hell of it. I yanked a couple of teeny bubbles out, but those were probably from the syringe/lever interface.
Bomber brakes. Worth the pad wear IMO.
The Shimano parts kit is a new lever.............Sounds like I blew the seal with too much pressure. Hopefully I can get just parts from Shimano, otherwise I'll have to buy a new lever, and fix the other one when parts start coming online...
If you just had to buy a new brake, wouldn't you have a receipt?Yup, I had to buy a new complete brake. Anyone wanna buy a four pot XTR caliper and hose?
Hopefully my LBS that I am affiliated with will write me a receipt so I can try and warranty the pooched one.
And I thought that I was being so clever forcing extra fluid in the system...
Vastly different Shimano experience than mine.Honestly I can't remember the last time I included a receipt with a Shimano warranty claim. Best warranty coverage in the business, IMO. Your shop Should be able to get it replaced for you easily.
Are you sure the membrane is gone? Have you tried any of the resurrection methods described in that empty beer post?I think my biggest issue is that it was 100% my fault.
Yeah, but it's 100% shimano's fault that those dipshits don't sell any replacement parts.I think my biggest issue is that it was 100% my fault.
Just pulled the trigger on one of these...gonna totally customize it
