1. I"ve read and heard frequently that this procedures can be succesfully accomplished without bleeding the brakes. What are your thoughts, Clint? Thanks so much, great great video.
2. Great vid, really helpful, didnt think itd be this easy, thanks
3. Hey! is it possible to put a Front brake in the back wheel ?????
4. Great job! Thanks for your help Clint!!
5. Hello Clint, I buy a pair of slx brakes for my trance. Have you got any tips and tricks about passing the hose through the frame (internal routing)? How did you do it with the xt brakes on your giant? Thanks a lot
6. this is likely a very stupid question, but why did no fluid spill out?
   was there no fluid in the lines?
7. Is it possible to have air in the system after this? Sorry for my bad english.. please respond :/
8. Thank you!
   I'm having a shop replace the SRAM Guide R Brakes on my new bike with Shimano XT'S and just wanted to see how it is done.
   Your video is clear and easy to understand.
   I don't trust the guide brakes (although I've not heard of recall), but something happened with rear brake lever completely locking up on me my first ride out (so I had no rear brakes) - never happened to me before in 18 years of riding.
9. Clear explanation. Thank you.
10. Great video Clint. Do you have to replace the olive any time you detach the brake lines from the lever or only if you are shortening the hose? I ask because I got a pair of brakes that came Euro style. I switched the lines and one seems to work great, but the other seems to be leaking. I'm thinking it's either I need to redo the olive and pin every time or maybe I didn't tighten enough (i.e., 8 newtons)? Any thoughts appreciated.
11. Thank you for the very clear and informative video! I wish all the how-to videos would be on this level :-)
12. great video! need some advice, I need to detach my brake hose from my rear brake lever because i need to thread it through a new frame. do i need to replace the olives or can i just replace the hose in the lever?
13. Thank you, this is very helpful, step by step and detailed.
14. Great how to video!! Gave me the confidence to order and install XT brakes on my mountain bike. Thanks for the tutorial and also the how to bleed shimano brakes video.
15. When I pulled the lead out the pin stayed in and now I can't get it out what do I do?
16. hey need some help. there seem to be something inside the Olive when I install them on my cable. I have no clue what it is. what should I do? wipe it off? or leave it? http://imgur.com/P47N1k3
17. Very clear instructions there, one of the best "how to"videos I've watched. Thank you. Over to bleeding...
18. Just to be sure, my SLX came in as Rear Brake-Right Hand / Front Brake-Left hand. After cutting the able, Can I swap the cable to the other lever so it could be Front-Brake Right Hand / Rear Brake Left Hand.
19. is it also possible to cut the hose on the caliper?
20. Thank you... This is very helpfull for me
