The coincidence is so funny, that you guys uploaded this now and I have just got my new bike with modern parts a week ago, and I need to finetune the brakes :) I love all your work, the professionalism and compact format is on another level, just the way I love and need it! I cannot thank you enough for sharing so much info for free! I learned how to upgrade, service and set up my bike from your videos! Wish you guys all the best!
I don't know what you mean but Trickstuff's recommandition is clear and simple. There are also some steps missing which are assumed to go for like changing the O ring, push back the pistons before final bleed of master ...
Any information about what position the free stroke screw should be in BEFORE bleeding on Shimano? Also, where should the reach screw/knob position be BEFORE bleeding too?
What’s the point of the bleed blocks vs disc/pads installed? Is the bleed blocks thicker than the disc/pad or is it the same size mimicking the disc/pad thickness?
With pads installed, the pistons are likely to be extended toward the rotor. You do not want that. The blocks keep the piston pushed into the body as you push the fluid. Additionally, you do not want any fluid on the pads, ever.
Is it possible to mix Trickstuff calipers (for example C22) with shimano road levers? What would be the bleeding procedure - as for calipers, or as for levers manufacturer process?
You don't need all that faff to do a brake bleed. All you need is a cup at the lever end and a trigger from a empty squirt bottle at the caliper end. You don't even have to remove your wheel. You can play with syringes like you're some kind of surgeon if you want to but that takes way longer and doesn't always get you the best results.
Have you used the gold adapters, in the M4 threading? These come with the BKM-1.2. Measure the threads of the bleed port screw from the brake and match it.
Where the bleed port is on the lever on the Piccola you need a longer, thinner adapter. The adapter in the kit is too wide and you cannot thread the adapter.

Nicely done! I especially appreciate the graphics.
Before pushing back the pistons, best practice is to have an open system with an open syringe at the lever to prevent a ruptured diaphragm.
Thanks for this video.
it is more professional than the manual of the manufacturer

That is one beautiful All-City frame you've got there! Which one is it?

You forgot the first step: Have enough money and patience to afford them and find them in stock ;)
A crucial step that takes much patience.
Just order and wait 😊

People with Trick Stuff brakes have butlers to service them 😂
😂 then I need a butler 😊
@@randymeertens398 haha. Show off 😉

This does not work for the Liccola carbon lever. The adapters do not fit. Now I need to figure out how to bleed my new brakes

@@jaredhileman4111 yeah also noticed its too wide for the piccola. gotta get the trickstuff bleed kit
Switch to cables
