@markeolsen Hi my friend, it is a common problem, with these style of brakes (Shimano Saint M810 and Shimano XT M775), first if your brake is new, i recommend to use it for like 2 weeks, i have new Saint M810 and at the start the free stroke adjustment didn't worked too, but after i get used 2 weeks it started worked finally (i used these brakes every day in a week from 8 AM to 7-8 PM. If it still won't fix the problem i would suggest you a freash bleed with Shimano Mineral Oil as standard..
I'm a complete novice when it comes to Hydraulic brakes and could use some advise. I recently replaced the headset of my bike. I removed the rotor unit from the fork when removing the fork. after all was done and back together. My brakes leaked fluid from the housing at the point it enters the rotor unit? I didn't squeeze the brake lever but neither did I have a spacer in between the pads. Did I mess up or was/is there a problem I'm not aware of? any advise would be great!

I must be missing something but the free stroke adjuster screw on my brakes doesn't do anything. Is this video correct?

Hello,
besides that i generally like tutorials, i'd definitely
like to know where you have got the music from and what the names are.
Thanks in advance.
