Just fitting XT brakes, where the hose connects to the caliper, can I loosen that and adjust the angle of the hose without loosing fluid or letting air in? Can this angle even be altered or is it fixed?

Thanks

EDIT - just seen one feature of these is "adjustable banjo angle" but is that only on installing the hose initially?

    Yes you can. As to fluid loss and the need fo a bleed that all comes down to you and how you do it.

    Some don't need to rebleed. Some do.
