I've got 2012/13 XTR trail brakes. I want to get them bled perfectly.
I followed this procedure:
It didn't work very well.
I went to my shop and they told me NOT to open the free stroke all the way is instructed in the Shimano video. Also, they recommended that I leave the funnel on and pump the brakes over and over and over to try and force out any more air that might be hiding in the lever/lines...
I took this advice and tried again, and got better results, but it still isn't PERFECT.
I riding buddy has said that performing the bleed, but then leaving the funnel on, and putting an elastic on the lever and leaving the whole thing as such overnight is the ticket.
What are your thoughts methods?
