Hi all,

New to the forum so hello to you all. Hoping you can help. My mate recommended I get an aftermarket bleed kit as he bought one off Ebay from Cyclonix. I have seen their website - www.bleedkits.co.uk

Anyone had any dealings with Cyclonix?

Thanks in advance!

ONly thing I would question is that there are syrninges using dot5.1 fluid. I'm pretty sure that dot5.1 makes the syringe rubber expand to the point where the syringe will no longer work.

Be careful what ones you buy. I got one from a seller and the brass fitting wasnt long enough and the shoulder hit a caliper body bolt and wouldn't screw into it. Got another set from epicbleedsolutions on the bay and they were perfect.

Should be fine.

As above, the only tricky thing with Avid brakes is that the bleed screws are recessed, so many brass fittings won't screw in properly. Looking at the photos, those Cyclonix ones should be fine.

I used the Cyclonix one from www.bleedkits.co.uk and it was spot on!

Looks like 'leejinxuk' and 'jenko73' are the same person. Look at their profiles. Lee Jenkins owns bleedkits.co.uk by the look of things. Why are you posting as someone else about your own site? Not cool. hah.

Powned!

To be fair the OP stands out a mile off as astroturfing.

The cheapest ones on ebay are the doctor coopers.

Mind; none of these come with sealed dot 5.1

Hah, behold the shaft.

I use Epic bleed kits, they look very similiar to Cyclonix so who knows, that might be leejinxuk too. But they do the job anyway.

Well spotted that man. Wow, what a d*ckish thing to do. Suspect it goes on quite a lot unnoticed actually.

This is quite amusing actually. 🙂 I'd just like to say we are in no way affiliated with Lee Jenkins or bleedkits.co.uk.

He he, epicbleedsolutions it is then.

Thanks to leejinx for bringing epicbleedsolutions to my attention.

I will be using them for my bleed kit I think
