Flipping a bike with Juicys shouldn't cause any problems but in my experience even storing a Juicy equipped bike vertically for short periods can mess them up.
Juicys are horrid horrid brakes and the bleed kits Avid supplies are fucking abysmal.
If you have Juicys/an Avid bleed kit my advice would be to find some very small zipties and put them around the tube where it attaches to the syringe and to the brass threaded bit, without doing this you'll never get the required vacuum.
In my opinion Juicys always feel like they are shy a bit of fluid, no matter how much time I spend bleeding them and trying to squeeze more fluid into the system I've never been able to get rid of that feeling.
Next time, buy something with a fecking bleed nipple.
