This is my custom gravel bike build project. In this video I'm mounting and bleeding hydraulic disc brakes on the bike and that did not go well. It was the first time I had ever worked on hydraulic disc brakes and I ran into quit some problems that I'll share it in this episode. Besides that I'm also fitting parts that I had to re-order becasue the initial parts I ordered didn't fit. Also I bought various tools that I needed for this build.

This is a 3-part series. I decided to cut it up in pieces becasue the whole procces was very long and too much to put in one video. In this part I will continue with some new parts and tools I bought because the first batch didn't fit. I'm also installing the front fork and the hydraulic disc brakes. The brakes turned out to be a really big challenge! When I tried to bleed the brakes I discovered a problem with the connection of the hose into the shifters. It turns out I made a mistake during the installation...
Thanks to Vittoria Benelux and Petrichor Cycles for supporting this build.
