A customer's complaint about my brake bleeds made me switch to a different syringe

They said the lever feel was still a bit spongy after I worked on their gravel bike, so I swapped my old 60ml one for a 30ml medical syringe with a Luer lock. Anyone else find the smaller volume gives you better control to get all the air out?

Totally makes sense. That smaller syringe probably builds way more pressure, which really forces the last of the bubbles out. The luer lock is a game changer too, no more popping off the hose mid-push. I've had way firmer feels since I switched to a similar setup.

Wait, you're getting firmer feels from a syringe? @andrewr65, that's wild. I've only ever used those for like, medical stuff. Never crossed my mind for that.
