Re: LTWOO RX hydro sets Quick update. I've managed to get a pretty good bleed in there now, and think I've got the way of it. I was looking at the air port, and wondering why they'd include that. Looking at the hood design, the hood and reservoir are quite prominent, and air could get trapped inside- hence the air port.

So what I did was something I've done in the past- use a work stand to rotate the bike around and remove any air. I alternated between having the brake bleed port high, and then the lever high. I kept alternating these, and bleeding at the same time. Eventually all the air came out.

BTW, the pad adjust grubscrew falls out the back if you exceed 7 full turns clockwise. It's easy to reinstall though, but the lever needs removed to do so. If you do this then the lever return spring needs to be in the right spot to work right; all I do is lift it up a bit, push the lever against the front face of the hood, and slowly side it down while pushing gently forwards. This keeps the spring in place, and evenmtually it rests against the flat part above the pivot.

Re: Clipless shoes ***UPDATE***

I did a 20 mile ride today in them, in poor conditions; some rain, lots of puddles, lots of mud (this was a gravel ride mostly). The shoes kept my feet fairly dry; some water ingressed via the top of my (wet) sock.

Apart from that, nothing to report really. They worked well. I forgot I was wearing them. The only potential downside is that the elasticated ankle cuff has become muddy, and I'll need to clean that off before I dry them.

Re: Clipless shoes No. I never do that.

Another (shorter) ride yesterday, 10 miles or so, including walking through some shallow puddles. Worked, stayed dry.

I'd use the hose type 1st ment for the caliper.  So if the calipers were designed for bh90 first try those. If you don't like how they feel or the calipers don't move correctly install bh59 hoses.

They're the same as 105. I know this as I swapped the 105 shifters and brakes for the L-Twoo models, and keep the 105 hoses, barbs and olives.

Re: LTWOO RX hydro sets Isn't it possible to slacken the shifting tension by an adjuster bolt? I'm sure Trace Velo pointed that out on YT.
