Yup, all OK.

The bubbles that are in it are only pin head size ones, no bigger ones than that at all.

Took it out 2 mins ago, very shit indeed, pretty much nothing till near the bottom of the pedal, then some shitty braking.

Will bleed it again in a while, just hope ive got enough fluid :lol:

Calipers on the correct sides, bleed nipples at the top?

Changed my brakes to calibra items, but ive got a problem with bleeding the fuckers.

Gone through 2 litres already and theres still wee bubbles in the fluid, never used this much before when bleeding brakes, im guessing theres a leak somewhere? Or have people had experience of using shitloads of fluid to bleed them?
