Rhobbs-
Yup - it has two holes near the top, and one in the tip. But is sealed - I cant see the end of the hose.
Edit:
after watching a useful video, it seems it should be pre-bleed, and has a clever auto olive system like a j-kit, but built into the shifter... so question:If I chop the end off with the j-kit style insert, do I remove the bolt from the caliper, slide it over the hose, add an olive and an insert and away we go - or does this Direct system require a different method to create a perfect seal? #bleedingn00bwithastanleyknife

So - does anyone happen to know if the BR-RS785 that just got delivered with a rubber cap over the end of the hoses are full of juice or not...? Shimano calls the rubber cap 'easy hose joint system'...
This is going to be my first attempt at chopping and setting up hydro, trying to gauge how much mineral oil I should order with the bleed kit I will inevitably need to coat my kitchen floor in pinkish oil...before going to my lbs to fix it.
