dann2707 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Pretty sure you can't just "fill it up" like you say man. You need to thoroughly flush it out and bleed it. Honestly I would stick the original levers back on, then if you come on a Leeds ride I'll bleed it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 You've only just started haven't you? I wouldn't bother at this initial stage. Stick with HS33 and get used to your bike first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
