Great article! Reading this might be the final nail in the coffin of changing brakes next time I come around to it... I've been a die-hard fan of the hard biting shimano XT 2 pistons for closer to 2 decades, but needing a lever replacement right before a bike park trip, and then recently bending a lever and somehow letting air into the system on said replacement... I'm starting to wish I committed to something more serviceable. Maybe like you, I'll keep my eye out for a low cost rebuild project. Cheers!
