Not quite. I collected my new Raceline MT7's from Herne Hill Bikes last week, fitted them, my bleed kit syringe self-destructed midway through bleeding the front brake but the lever felt firm so I basically YOLO'd it, did a quick lap of Bedgebury to test that I had some brakes (I did, but the front seemed to soften off very slightly toward the end, but I slightly doubted my own senses there). Then I headed to Windhill and found that I hadn't been imagining things and the front brake definitely had a bit of air in it that the rather more challenging terrain had shaken free.
The fast-bleed, being basically just applying a vacuum to the master cylinder removed some impressively large bubbles when maximum vacuum was applied.
