[Closed] avid juicy 5 - bleeding

The Avid bleed kit makes it really simple and well worth getting IMO.

There is also a video on YouTube on how to do it. Search for avid bleeding.

I did one in 10 minutes with my first atempt.

yep, you need the bleed kit, or, if you're anywhere near Marsden, West Yorks, pop round with your bike and use mine....

thanks mate! i'm nowhere near unfortunately - bristol

i might just take it to my lbs as it needs doing before sunday. that instruction video is very helpful - loving the trousers

aah - bit of a trek then - i know i was only in Nailsea on Tues morn..... best of luck getting it sorted - see if mud-dock can do a 'while you wait' job and head upstairs for a nice bite to eat?

well worth getting the kit, i borrowed a mates and it is sooooo easy to do and mess free (unlike my hayes)

If you're looking for a kit on the cheap, apparently the Formula one fits perfectly.

I'm down in Swindon with an Avid kit and have dot5 if you need it? I used an avid kit to do my formulas, I wrote a thread about it, here you go: http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/bleeding-brakes-how-to-an-idiots-guide

cheers all. mr nutt that is a very twisted yet thorough guide to brake bleeding - well done

the formula kits are only £14 at evans - booyah

Ignore all instructions..... I bled mine as a complete system without pulling the levers in and they worked brilliantly from then on! Just make sure to push the pads back first.
