I'm going to get in front of this one a bit. Reading the Editors comment about
doing a full bleed. My experience, and what lead me to change things up as
described here, is that when I would follow the full SRAM procedure, my brakes
would work worse than when I started.
When you look at the SRAM procedure, it is essentially broken down into three
bleeds - Caliper, Hose, Lever/Master Cylinder. This procedure just kind of
takes away the Caliper/Hose portions and focuses on the Lever/Master Cylinder.
By not messing around at the caliper, there is no chance that you will
introduce air at this point. You stand a better chance of not screwing up your
bleed.
