Unless you get a leak on the road they are very easy to maintain. just center them every now and then and adjust the levers for however much clearance on the bars you prefer. Now cables.... I had some and they were horrible. Adjusting every week and I never could get them to center right.



Its a two person job. Get the cover off the reserve, have someone with a syringe of mineral oil at the injection nipple and just put oil into the system until the air is purged. Doesn't take long, but doing it yourself you would need a giraffe neck to see when its clear of air.
