Why would that be?
According to the manual, the bleed nipple should point forward (which
happens to be the upper connector). I felt no suspicion doing it that
way, because air tends to rise, so it seemed logical to have the bleed
nipple on top, that way any air in the caliper will collect near the
bleed nipple. Apart from that, the brake line will then nicely follow
the leg so the brake line won't dangle into the air.
Maybe you are right that it should be the other way around, but could
you please also explain why?
