Thought bleeding a single brake line would take 15 minutes, took me 3 hours
I was swapping out my old brake hoses on my mountain bike and figured I'd be done in under an hour. But getting all the air out of the system was a nightmare, especially at the caliper end. Turns out I was doing the lever pumping wrong the whole time and had to re-watch a Park Tool video three times. Did anyone else have their first brake bleed turn into a whole afternoon project?

Bro @mitchell.mark I once pumped so hard the lever broke clean off and flew into a ditch.
