Stupid question about hydraulic disc brakes - I need to disconnect hoses from caliper and/or lever in order to install my brakes on a different bike. Can you disconnect the hoses without fluid going everywhere? I'm getting the bike shop to set up the brakes, but want to just give them the bike plus brakes.
If you don't squeeze the lever while it's disconnected the fluid will stay where it is due to surface tension on the tiny surface area at the end of the hose. Try not to disconnect both ends of the hose at the same time.
It's definitely not going to squirt everywhere though.
