Delivery is £4.50 which bumps it up a bit but I’ve heard the rrp is now £40 so it’s still cheap.

You can bet the price isn’t the same in-store but perhaps you could persuade them to give it to you at that price.

Have they gone up then? I thought Avid bleed kits were about £20?

think it was 35 in my lbs

£39.99 in Mammoth Cycles, Milford (Nr Cannock Chase)…!!!

Am I right in thinking that the Avid bleed kit will work with Formula brakes also?

thanks for that, even 2nd hand kits on ebay are going for more than that.

i think avid and formula kits work with each brake system, same fittings.

Yep Avid fit Forumula. Have used an avid kit to re-bleed my k18s to good effect.

I’m sure you can buy syringes and tubing for a few quid, it’s just getting the right fitment to stick in the caliper/reservoir.

One bleed kit heading for the Scottish Borders 😀

Bugger – out of stock!

£40 is a bloody joke for 2 syringes and some fittings.

You do get a tiny pot of brake fluid and an olive as well.. 😉

The tiniest bottle of DOT you can buy I think!

If anyone needs an avid kit I’ve got one, sans fluid (ie syringes and clips with tubing and connections). £14 posted.

Aphex, I’ll take it e-mail in profile.

Hi,

Thank you for your order with Alpine Bikes – unfortunately the Avid Juicy Bleed Kit is now completely sold out. At the moment, we are not looking at re-stocking this item so I will need to cancel your order.

Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Thanks,

Alpine Bikes Online

Doh!!

Kit now sold.

Aphex, money sent. Check your gmail email for address, cheers. Rich

Spongey Juicy’s will soon become history 🙂

Oh, and buy your oil from a motorfactors or motorbike shop. Much cheaper than buying “bike” branded oil from a bike shop.

easily the most overpriced product I have come across in aaages. I have one and honestly, the only bits you couldn’t get scrounging around, or on ebay are the little brass bits that screw in the bleed port. I honestly cannot believe that the manufacturing cost of these kits is more than a couple of quid.

I agree, it’s probably the biggest piss-take I’ve come across as far as bike kit goes. I’m almost determined to find an alternative screw, even though I already have an official kit!

Totally overpriced, I made my own, I would post a pic but my camera has decided to not let me transfer the photos to my computer. The thread required is M5 if i remember correctly.
