    Howdy folks. I'm looking for a reach adjustment screw on my Shimano R8020 hydraulic shifters, but I can't find one. Any help would be welcome. I'm presuming there is one.

    Was the lever coming in further than you wanted ? I've one doing the same and wouldn't mind fixing - was it easy ?

    No it was out too far, making it difficult to reach the brakes when on the droPS. There's a 2mm Allen bolt at the back of the lever by the shift paddle. Reach adjustment is simply via the bolt

    Mine is at the right location but pulls in too much pulled.

    that's a simple enough job to adjust at the brakes, rather than the levers.

    So adjustment with the brake pads?

    So adjustment with the brake pads or a bleed of the brakes ?

    Look at the doc referenced above, and try adjusting the Free Stroke, rather than the Reach - you might not need to bleed the brakes.

    Perfect will give that a go, it pulls in a little too much but it does brake perfect and locks up the back wheel when fully pulled in.
