Andrew, I have GRX levers and Ultegra actuators. It acts as if

almost no
pull. Instead they pull almost all of the way to the bar.

Should be, uses same pads/hose fitting kit and so on, and

same calipers broadly from Tiagra to Dura Ace, though Cues is

doing its own thing! Aka less performance more simple design.

But since they are compatible it must be air in the

system. The thing that bothers me is that all of my previous disk
bikes had hard front and back brakes. This setup has the same
pull on
front and back and the front is a straight shot up and bled
without a
problem.

Need to remove the rear caliper form the frame so it can be at the

with a
tool handle while purging the fluid. It has air in the nooks and
crannies of the caliper.

Roger, what is doubling down? I had a dent in the top tube and it
went away. I showed you the SCIENCE of how that could happen and
you believe it to be fake science? Frank is NOT a mechanical
engineer and Liebermann isn't even an engineer of any sort. Flunky
is on this newsgroup at least 100% during what would be working
hours and he has showed us his account where he said that he rode
TWO 200 mile rides wityh climbing in them at around 20 mph rides.
If you believe ANY of these guys you have to ask yourself why.

the inability to think. The seizure stopped the ability to post and

That did not happen. Or a metaphysical event interceded with

True, but the principles are the same across steels as a group. The

Except that the characteristics of a tube versus a sheet of the same
material thickness are more than a little different. The form of the
metal is of critical consideration.

 Flunky, you always have to tell us everything your don't know the first thing about.

I know a tube doesn't have the same characteristics as a formed sheet, apparently that concept escapes you
