I’m wondering about upgrading my CdF with the new Shimano 105 hydraulic system. I’m used to doing my own builds but have never taken on hydraulic brakes.
How easy is it to cut the hose to the correct length?do I need special cutters?
How easy is it to completely ruin the hose when cutting it?
How easy is it to fill the system with brake fluid? I remember from working on my car brakes many years ago the problems of having air bubbles in the system.
Cheers
