I was after a bit of help/advice and thought this was the best place to ask. I recently picked up a bargain pair of Shimano R685 hydraulic shifters and am slowly getting the calipers and other parts to fit them. I just wondered as I have never had hydraulics about the hoses and whether a Shimano set would have all I need to connect up the calipers? I can't find anything specifically for the road brakes but assumed the MTB hoses would work on them? I was also going to get one of the ebay bleed kits and wondered if anyone could let me know if 100ml of mineral oil would be enough? Having only had cable discs in the past am not sure how much the system actually needs. Any help really appreciasted, thanks.
