A Relaxing start to the day - for all the hardtail Titanium lovers - little bit of Bike Porn

Had Cura 4s. Sold 'em. Didn't like. Plus they make Hopes look Shimano-easy to bleed.

You'd really hate my 6 pots then, even more power and you have to have use a bowl to catch the oil when you bleed them.

It's the lack of bleed fitting (just a blank screw) on the caliper and thin as water mineral fluid that made the Cura 4s a pain to bleed (IMO), the double-syringe method is easy-peasy if it wasn't for the fact the fluid doesn't have enough surface tension to not drip out the second you disconnect the fitting. Add a bleed fitting to the caliper and they'd be as easy as Shimano too.

Ah young grasshopper. You need to disconnect the caliper syringe first. Push some oil through from the lever syringe as you screw the grub screw in. Then push oil in and out of lever to get out microbubbles, disconnect lever syringe and clean.

Then pull stoppies on demand to impress the kids.

Ah old boomer, I know how to bleed brakes - it's just a pointlessly messy, time consuming and fiddly way to do it.

And yes, Cura 4s do in fact = stoppies for days. Unless you're on the gravel at You Yangs, then it's front wheel lock-ups if you get a bit trigger-happy!
