Your voice and video inspire so much confidence. My new breaks seem to have some air in the line and i am watching this video trying to get my mind around it before I got try to bleed the whole thing, fingers crossed I can get it done easily enough!

So interesting that he mentions the bleed nipple must be tightened to 1nm. I have destroyed two Clarks brake systems by tightening that nipple to what I thought was a reasonable tightness, utterly destroying the flimsy thread, 'cos I don't have a torque spanner.
