In the first instance you can't rely on just seeing clear fluid at the
caliper - someone else might have done a partial bleed at some point.

Also I've had several cases where 'economical' flushes have left
unsatisfactory brakes - in fact, both Roger and I have seen this.  My
reaction is to repeat the complete operation and I've usually had a
better result the second time around.  Since I've started pulling one
Gunsonful down every line, I haven't had the problem.

The stuff's cheap insurance, like I say.
