@tk air goes to the, whatchacallit in the handles if you just brake a few times, until you don't have enough fluid anymore ig

@snacks @tk oh shit...

You're right...

I remember the hassle of having air in the hydraulic tools' lines at the fire brigade. Takes quite a time to bleed it out of the hoses and we already have automatic bleeding and a reservoir unit on the hydraulic unit so tool changes and minimal loss of fluid/pressure ain't rendering the tools useless...

@tk @snacks Yeah, cuz like even 50cm³ / 45km/h scooters in Germany do have at least a reservoir / bleeding cylinder lext to the brake at the steering wheel (usially a rectangular box that isn't covered) to keep air out of the loop and allow monitoring the volume if not add/replace the fluid.
