What did you fine was a barrier to using other brands’ adapters? My brakes came without and I’m running Magura ones front and rear with no issues.
Good point on the bleed blocks.
On the mess the secret is to unbolt the caliper so it’s the high point when removing/installing the bleed fittings. We had really clean bleeds front & rear although BleedingEdge is awesome (wrote about that previously).
As I said above, I knew my opinion on Crosshair wouldn’t be universal; I think when everyone who’s tried the brakes seems to love them to the point that the tiny setscrew in the calipers is the only point of schism that’s pretty awesome!
I have a ton to say about riding the brakes but didn’t want to get too far out in front since we’re doing the double review.
