Can I reduce the brake lever play on my new Giant Trance X2 (hydraulic Shimano 485 brakes) easily? Is there a way to do it without bleeding brakes etc?
At the moment it feels like there's lots of travel before anything happens - certainly much more than on my mate's new XT-equipped Giant Anthem 1.
I have heard that one shouldn't operate the lever without a disc between the rotors. I think I remember reading - but now I can't find the thread - that the way to reduce lever play is to operate the brake levers with the wheels out. Should I try it?
