Hi,

New brakes just arrived yesterday, very quick, R2 being top notch yet again.

However I was a bit surprised once I opened the boxes.

Haven't seen anything like that in flesh before, all Shimano brakes came to me fully plugged and ready to go.
This time they looked like below:

Is that something like plug and play system or Sram's connectamajig? Or I will still need full bleeding procedure?

Cheers!
I.

You'll normally manage without a bleed (like 99% of the time). Just be quick and smooth and don't squeeze the lever once you've started. Best done on the bike as it holds everything in ace for you.
