Very excited for a first proper ride on this at the weekend. Had a quick spin round the block to bed in the brakes and it felt lovely. Rear brake needs re-bleeding though as there's a bit more lever travel than the front.
It's my first time working on hydraulic brakes - any tips beyond being patient and following Shimano's instructions? I think the way the hose runs through the BB (it's a very tight fit) might make it hard to get all the air out. Would tilting the bike 'bars up' more for the whole process help?
PDW mudguards, silver seat clamp and Arundel stainless bottle cages ordered too to finish it off.
