I don't think it, I know it, as does everyone I know.

True, I don't. Neither has any person in this forum who's cared to
comment. Nor did any competent rider I've ever ridden or raced with.
It's a problem only you seem to have.

And think that people are standing in line to believe that you rode 200 miles in one day at an average speed of 20 mph.
I don't think that because it isn't true. No one believes that, because
no one except you seems to think I ever made the claim. No matter how
many time you tell the lie that I ever made such a claim, it will never become true.

What we can take from this is that tommy thinks fluid dynamics vis- -vis the the movement of air a fluid through a tube is _not_ a principle in physics, but a dent popping out of a top tube on a rough road _is_.

I didn't and don't look down at my DT friction shifters.
What ever would you expect to see??
Like everyone else, I listen (not look) for the gear change.
Detach caliper from its mount so it hangs below line.
Slack handlebar clamp at the stem if needed to get the lever
port horizontal.
Push fluid from bottom to top.
Tap caliper to dislodge air bubbles while pushing the fluid.
You're welcome.

You tell me that even though a pro racer who raced europe said exactly the opposite of your idiotic beliefs.
Bullshit, No pro racer ever told you that.

fitted.Thanks Andrew, but isn't that more complicated than simply bleeding it backwards?
I did discover that the back actuator line wasn't all the way tightened which was leaking air in. I will have to develop the habit of always tightening connectors all the way when they are installed rather than going back after everthing is properly
derailuer. I suppose I will have to find my misplaced pliers to pull the cable since it is a left hande operation and I can't pull hard enough with the longnose pliers.The rear derailleur is giving me trouble again. Upper and lower limits are set but I can't tighten the shift cable tight enough not to run out of adjustment in the cable tensioner and there's no room to use the cable tightener on that long arm rear
Right. When all else fails, read the manual.
Hose coupler torque is 7nm.
Unlike an auto clutch or brake system, Shimano hydraulic
discs are by design purged bottom to top.
Removing the caliper from its mount lets it fall to a
position lower than the line and also allows you to turn it
and tap it to free air pockets not near the line inlet while
purging fluid.
