So that SLX front brake has sat for a week with the lever squeezed pretty tight with a toe strap and there's still nothing on the back of the pads, if the piston was cracked/leaking that'd have shown it up Shirley?
If I use them on my new project I'll likely need longer hoses so they'd both be getting bled anyway. Not sure whether replacing the hoses will be financially sensible though, I might be as well just using them on a bike they'll fit on and buying new brakes for the new bike.
