Quote from: Dormy on Yesterday at 05:39 PMThe standard 109 brake layout puts the flexi hose to the top cylinder and the bleed nipple on the bottom as you describe. One cylinder at the top and the other the bottom (doesn't look absolutely vertical) of the backplate.
It's not the best layout for bleeding and there have been many threads - you are not alone. There are different techniques that people prefer and swear by. Mine is to clamp the pistons back into cylinders and bleed like that, before fitting the shoes. OK if everything is disassembled.
Some have adapted the S3 pipe layout (which still has the cylinders/bleed nipple the same way), to feed the fluid to the bottom cyl first and then the top cylinder where they also relocate the bleed nipple.
