• Ok, but- a slow leak shouldn’t stop me from being able to bleed the brake, that should happen and then fade as air gets in.

    What if- this frame is internally routed, I can’t see maybe 70/80% of the hose. Could it be bent around inside the frame in such a way that it’s holding onto a pocket of air?

    Maybe looped, and if I could get the hose straight that last pocket of air would come out?

    Or am I misreading how a slow leak would present?

    I had a leaky Shimano brake - you could bleed it and it would work for a bit but when left for a while it would contaminate the pads. I never saw the fluid but after several iterations of fix pads - ride - stand - dead brake, I binned it.
