    This evening I’ve just struggled to bleed my rear brake and realised a lot of my problems were because one of the syringes was missing the rubber seal where it fits into the bleed port. When trying to bleed the lever it would continually pull air into the syringe.

    Can I get a replacement, presumably they are the same/similar to that which fit on the bleed port screw?

    I’m not an avid elixir fan and will be changing to probably XT at some point this year but for now if anyone knows a cheap fix that would be great as I’ve got a friends bike to do as well.

    Cheers

    I got some small O rings from a small DIY shop in Huddersfield, I removed the seal from my bleed kit and brought it in to match the size.

    I needed the seals for the bleed screws as they had worn out (which is no surprise given the amount of times I have bled my avids) I bought 10 at the cost of £1. If you only need one it’ll probably be free.
