    Rather than buying what appears to be an overpriced Shimano kit, what is the cheapest way to bleed slx disks? Any pointers as to where to get syringes and tube either online or in the real world.

    go to epicbleedsolutions.com: I bought a full bleed kit, including two small bottles of juice for £13.

    I have a piece of rubber hose that fits the bleed nipple on caliper, bought from my local car shop at pound a metre, a plastic evain bottle with a hole cut in the screw cap so I can put the hose through and catch the fluid, I also wrap a wire coat hanger round the top of the bottle to hang on the bike, syringes is a little tougher, baby syringes are good but only small unless your local chemist has larger like 10-20mm you may have to buy online.

    Scrounge some syringes from your local vet

    You can buy suitable syringes from a kitchen supply shop. They use them to inject jam into doughnuts or something like that.
