Yeah, I had those. Replaced with Shimano.
100% on the bleeding. So much easier and better compared to getting DOT all over your hands and bike.

How the fuck are you bleeding brakes that you get shit on the bike? It's literally impossible with Sram syringes.
He uses the Polish syringes.

He bought some hoses at the Dollar Store and tried to make his own.

Dollar store hoses don't fit right with the free needle exchange syringes.
Fake news. There's always drips. SRAM bleed kit. Not 'Bleeding Edge' though.

Well, yeah. Only part I had a shop install on any of my bikes (the BB on the Mukluk frame) got installed with the incorrect spacers setup...Salsa Cycles certified dealer.

A mechanic that assembles bicycles for a mail order company.

Ah. I can’t be sure 100% sure but I bought the frame from an actual Bike store in Wisconsin that is also a Salsa official dealer. Anybody makes mistakes (and apparently I did too failing to realize the issue with the bb when I first inspected the frame.

Isn’t this the model of the future?

More than likely for the masses. I expect brick and mortar shops to go deeper into the boutique market. And I'll always have a job because the internet can't fix your bike the night before a race. Luckily, no one realizes they own a bike until the night before a race. Hell, a shop could survive just selling tires to people the week before the 5 Boro Bike Tour.
