<DIV></DIV>Why will it be a PITA? (putting A3 caliper!!!)
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>What is best to have the bleeder screw over or under the caliper? Which is
<DIV></DIV>best?
<DIV></DIV>I think it makes more sense to have the bleeder under the caliper, but maybe I
<DIV></DIV>don't see the praticability when bleeding brakes!!!!
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I'm thinking on putting A3 brake on my rocco, but maybe I will reconsider my
<DIV></DIV>point of view!!!
