Did a full bleed this morning (Shimano M365 with 180 rotors). Nothing to it after finding a How-To vid on U of Tube by some kid at a bike shop who does a gravity bleed rather than the 'official' tedious method utilizing a syringe and pushing the fluid up from the caliper to the lever. This is the reverse with no syringe and seems to make sense because like he said, most of the dirty fluid is in the caliper and gets expelled first with gravity bleeding. He's done 3000 of them, so how bad can the method be? Anyway, less than 30 minutes all in for me having never worked on hydraulic brakes prior. Brakes feel great.
