Default Fitting Front Goodridge - Is a Full Bleed required ??

Fitted some goodridge to the front of my classic and done a front brake bleed, both sides.

I know it's a split system, so should I have bled the rears aswell or was there little chance air would of got into that half of the system

i.e where's the split

I spilt/lost about 1/3 of a jam jar of fluid when swapping the rubber hoses for goodridge. However the fluid resovoir was topped up in between doing each side and didn't really go below the 'MIN' mark.

Pedal does feel slightly low and maybe v.slightly inconsistent. Difficult to tell, maybe me just being paranoid and over analysing it.

I would not personally fit the front hoses without the rears anyway, if you have goodridge on the front and not the rears, might it not put more pressure on the rear hoses....

Just a thought.....

i was advised to do the same , the front's will take more pressure leaving the
rears weak
if you are going to change them do them all

I only done fronts on my last setup and it wasn't a problem
I have changed the setup so needed new hoses. I have rears to do as well but waiting to get brackets sorted to get gold brembo's on the rear of a classic.
