Skubarra Posted January 19, 2017 Share Don't want to sound like one of those CWC acolytes on thehub but jeez dude - at least give them one working day to answer a mail before posting online complaints? And yes, you are correct, you could phone.. If getting an answer on this is a higher priority to you than bashing CWC bikebloke, JXV, Wil6 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andretraut Posted January 19, 2017 Share In the time you waste in posting this ridiculous rant you could have ordered the damn brakes, fitted them to your bike and bled them yourself if they were not bled already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefmeister Posted January 19, 2017 Share There is this almost forgotten technology, it's a phone, that you can use to speak to people from a distance. Use it and get your answer instantly. No one is going to bite you, totally safe! Plus, no one will steal your email address and spam you either. Another win!

Features: · Brake Lever: 2 finger, Forged alloy· Needs to be Bled (does not come pre-bled) Help me understand which one it is ? Bled or not bled ?I bought a XT brakeset from them and it was a so called J-kit. This means it is pre-bled and sealed but disassembled. The levers have plugs and hoses have little sealing membranes on the ends. You have to remove plugs and join hoses in a specific sequence to avoid leakage....the little membranes get punctured on assembly and no need to bleed if you get it right. But.......unless your bike is XXL you're gonna want to shorten those hoses so you need to plan on doing a bleed anyway. And you need 2 olive kits if you shorten the hoses. These come with a barb and a fresh olive (ferrule). Always had good service from CWC and always got exactly what I ordered....even recently.
