[#1697877]

Can anyone recommend a bike shop in the Bath area where I can go today and buy an Avid bleed kit that will not charge a small fortune?

Thanks in advance.

What have you been asked for so far?

I have never seen these kits cheap anywhere. And where are you?

Just make your own. Hose from aquarium shop, syringes from chemists, hose barb thing from engineering supplies eg [url= http://www.cotswoldengineeringsupplies.co.uk/Brass%20Adaptors/brassadaptsect.php?item=Hose%20Barb%20Adaptors&inthere=&line=Brass%20Adaptors%20and%20Hosetails ]cotswold engineering clicky[/url]

I'm in Bradford on Avon. Been to the LBS but no joy. I realise they are a rip off to buy but just need the convenience. £33 is roughly the cheapest you can get them for off the web.

No joy with the lads at Cadence unfortunately. Looks like a little patience and an internet order and a trip to the Royal Mail sorting office it is then!

Of interest I popped into Cadence yesterday for the first time and was very pleasantly surprised. Owned/ran by ex Johns bikes guy. They seem to stock some nice bits and have a Yeti demo bike as well as some exotica like titus and ibis. Look forward to spending some money there at some point.

Thanks very much for the offer awh, I have just ordered one online and have no real urgency to bleed my brakes today, just preventative maintenance before a trip to the Alps in a few weeks.
