"Right hand brake has always been a bit dodgy" = should've been a warranty claim to begin with?
I've got Shimano hydros on 5+ bikes and have been using them since my first TCR back in 2016. I'm pretty sure I've covered more miles than 99% of cyclists using them and the biggest drama I've had has always been my own fault, letting the pads run down and not taking spares. Oh, and someone put a screwdriver through a caliper once but I forgive him :)
I even sold my bleed kit because they just don't need to be redone.
(they'll fail in the middle of the Pyrenees now)
hippy-
should've been a warranty claim to begin with?
Probably. Maybe it wasn't always this way, I can't remember. Certainly wasn't an issue until the first time it needed bleeding which happened to be when I was touring through rural Wales with no bike shop in sight. Anyway. No bike shop I've ever taken it to (and it's been to a fuckload) ever suggested it may have been a warranty claim - which in hindsight I guess is a bit annoying (especially given I was given a new di2 battery under warranty in 2021). Anyway. Looks like I'll be spending £200+ on a flipping new shifter :'/

Plainly ftl, in plasticniki's experience.
Both brakes failing at once! Not a great advertisement
