For those who have piccola brakes, I am curious on how you bled them. Instructions are a bit confusing on their site and I watched their youtube video but they are not bleeding piccola. It seams to be a very similar process to SRAM brakes by moving oil from syrenge to another with a block in the caliber and the lever adjusted in (lever touching the handlebar). Thank you for any advice.

You’re welcome. Apparently the ‘trick’ is getting remaining air out of the secondary chamber at the master cilinder side.

My MY2018 Piccolas w/ C21 calipers started to work strangely after heavy abuse of 5.5 years. It seems I cannot bleed it well anymore, especially the rear brake. Time to rebuild and change all seals, I guess. (I already have a full set of new seals, new cables, etc. - also the .pdf here: https://trickstuff.de/wp-content/upload ... A_E_KL.pdf )

Have you seen any video about the rebuild process?
If you have any advices what I need to especially take case of, etc. then please write it here. I'm sure this can be useful to all of us! ;) Many thanks in advance!
