Lawnmowerman Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 No you won't need to bleed it unless it's routed through a gusset like on the old identiti'What frame is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Theoretically the only time you'll need to bleed them is when there's a leak in the system. This can be from a split hose, a broken seal or even if you take one of the hoses off yourself. So long as the system stays sealed you won't need to re-bleed it. There are times when you do still need to bleed it though. Sometimes the lever will feel sluggish and slow to respond, this is usually due to a build up of grime that's managed to sneak its way past your seals. Sometimes with water bleeds changes in temperatures can be a need for a re-bleed. Going from a hot country to a cold one for example can have an effect on the water in the brake. With some third party levers though like the RB levers air can be let in through the lever during every pull, which leads to the eventual sponginess of the brake and again calling for a re-bleed.But no, so long as your not cutting or undoing one of the cables from the cylinders or lever it'll be fine, changing the brake from one frame to another is usually a 2-3 minute job.
