ogre Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 i got told you can but you need to bleed more often, your best getting a reply from a tarty guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Nah, the reservoir is there to have a tiny bit of air inside...this air will just enter the system if ran upside down. So...its new lever ( or just body) or run your brake's Euro I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 It can be done actually, you just need to bleed it so that there is no air at all below the diaphram. 1handedluke used to run it if i remember right, I think I saw pics of his bikes on here a while ago.
