  • What tubing for bleeding Shimano hydraulic brakes?

    I need to get hold of some tube to bleed the lad’s front brake. I used to borrow a bleed kit off someone but that is no longer an option. I seem to remember reading that tube for a fish tank was suitable, or did I imagine that? Anyroad up, if someone can point me in the right direction I would be eternally grateful.

    I think its 4mm you need.

    Air hose might be the right diameter

    Edited to add: That’s air hose for fish tanks….

    Yes, fish tank hose does the job. And cheap as chips.

    I bought this hose on ebay

    Any 4mm should do, that just looked like it was a good option! Fast delivery too.

    Also a suitable hose available in Halfords, sold as windscreen washer tubing

    Cheers all. Is that 4mm internal? I presume it is.
