[#3956703]

Just bought a bleed kit off ebay as the last one i had of there lasted all of 3 bleeds.
This is a seriously good piece of kit. The hoses screw into the syringes, the ferrules have large knurled rings to make them easier to screw in and for a bargain price.
The come from Latvia (If i remember rightly) but took less than a week to arrive.
Well worth a look

I don't know if this is spam or not but at a quick look it looks a fantastic copy of the avid kit at a very good price. The only difference being the pad spacer kit you get with the avid kit.

Mind you, they are trying to flog the Shimano mineral oil at 50 and 100ml for the five quid more than you would pay to get a litre from Chain Reaction - pretty cheeky really:

S'pose it's business tho.

That price is for the bleed kit with either 50 ml or 100ml of fluid not just the fluid

epic do a good one too for avid brakes or any others with fiddly connectors, addapters, clips, etc, the avid ones also work on reverb posts.

Not spam,... just an honest review of a product that i was prety sceptical of to be honest.
Its always nice when something far exceeds your expectations.

@Rusty Mac; ah, fair cop.

Still, the rate of which I drop fluid on my garage floor/jeans/eyes I'd still buy a Shimano 1l bottle!
