My problem with the complexity of the bleed procedure is that there are more places where you can screw something up and have to start over or to screw something up and have to replace something. It’s pretty difficult to do that with a cable and housing. Cable and housing replacement certainly isn’t as difficult or onerous as exculixo has made it out to be.
And, let’s not forget that a brake bleed is about the equivalent of replacing an inner cable. If we include replacement of tubing…the equivalent of replacing housing…the complexity is increase several fold.
