And it’s fine that you are.... however I’d rather be safe in the knowledge I’ve fully evacuated all air from my braking system. If further down the line it creates an issue which requires repair, then it’ll get repaired rather than masked over.
In all my years I’ve never had an issue doing it how I do and my brakes have always had a great pedal...
