It’s going to my (somewhat) local bike shop - no other shop has ever done any work on my brakes.
They’ve shortened the hoses on the hardtail, and re-installed the brakes on the full suspension bike when I got back from Morgins.
In terms of why the rear brake (it’s always the rear brake) is being a pain- the only thing that is different to when it worked perfectly is that I had to cut the end off to pull it through the frame, so the hose is shorter than it was before, and the loop under the BB is slightly (10mm) longer.
