Stainless brake & clutch Lines

I've just taken the bike down to Chasbikes in London UK. They've been in business years and generally 'know their stuff'. He spent over an hour coaxing air out of the left front caliper brake system - he went up between the forks and started generally rattling and tapping around in the area where the brake hoses are metal. His explanation was that due to the hose to metal to hose line configuration there are places where theres a possibility of high spots on the hose/lines where air can become trapped. I then watched him for over 30 mins just sitting there gently tickling the front brake lever watching tiny bubbles of air appearing from within the system. Its now pretty much where it was before - perhaps a little better due to the new brake piston seals and caliper clean up.
