Hi all,
Apologies for the radio silence, and thanks for all the inputs and insights.
Just a heads up that I've tried re-bleeding a few times now (hence the radio silence), as carefully as a I can and could only manage a level travel (not "throw" as in the title) from start to about 1/4 distance (remaining) from the handlebar, before you get that firm feeling of full actuation.
The levers are also non-adjusted for contact point, and I decided against Wheelbuilder's last suggestion, for the reasons mentioned by others (i.e. issues when fluid is heated).
All things considered, it was a great first experience, to learn about hydraulics - and thanks for the help!
>> Wheelbuilder, it's a Shimano. Apologies for the omission, I assumed that disc brakes were relatively similar :S
