• There's a lot of travel in my brake levers before the pads bite the rotor, the levers nearly hit the handlebar when fully compressed.

    This is a brand new groupset/ bike so I would be pissed off if I have to bleed it. Is there a simpler method?

    rim brakes are so much easier

  • You can probably solve that by adding a bit more brake fluid to the system. No need for a full bleed.

    Road or flat bar?

    If it's new take it back the shop. It should be set up for you. That said depending on your levers there might be bite point adjustment.

    Cable pull stuff is much easier, yeah.
