• I had this overheating brakes. Do the bleed, you should change fluid at least every year, and you may have air, too.
    Road hydros do indeed feel less powerful than 20 quid shimano MTB brakes, but the right pads and a good bleeding and bed-in make a lot of difference.

  • you should change fluid at least every year

    Nah

    you may have air

    More likely

    Nah, maybe from the hoods but you've got more leverage from the drops if you bare in mind you've got to pull further, and if rotor size is the same.

    Yeah, but fuck bleeding it all the time if it doesn't need it.

  • you should change fluid at least every year

    Nah

    This is how we get people with crusty Avids filled with some black substance.
    Last time I got someone that never did a bleed, the nipple was full to the top of dirt. Took me ages to find what was going on, disassemble and unblock it.
