ah ok, this is kinda what I've found with my sram codes.

The official sram instruction says rotate the contact adjuster all the way in the opposite direction of the arrow. But if you do that then once the bleed is finished the dial is at its maximum setting and you can only adjust it making the lever come closer the bar. Which is the exact opposite of what you'd want.

Bleeding it with the adjuster set half way in the direction of the arrow gives it a more meaningful adjustment. I've never understood how the official sram instructions can be wrong!

@Dogs do you have contact point adjustment on your sram brakes? Is this your experience too?

No it's just lever reach, I've got 2x cross bikes with SRAM HRD. They're also equally as much of a PITA to bleed.

@Dammit - don't feel like it's only you that has had brake bleeding dramas.

Ah OK, do you have the bleeding edge thingy on the calipers?

I've found the bleeding edge system easier to use than anything else in terms of the simple push and pull process with the syringes.

But I hate the way fluid always pisses out at the lever end when you remove the syringe
