    Default My new caliper

    My brand new sparkling caliper came today but the bleed nipple on the bottom says its right hand side on the tinterweb but ask me I'd say it's left can I still fit it and just have the nipple on bottom looks identical either way up

    It won't work Marc, the bleed nipple needs to be on the top or it won't bleed properly, and you'lll still have air trapped in there.

    Stick a pic up and we'll be able to tell you, otherwise it'll have LH or RH marked on it.
