[Closed] How often do you bleed your brakes?

sircharles : get back under your bridge.

FTFY

Dunno, I've had SLX brakes for a bit, my mates got XTs and I still prefer my Avid Elixirs (and preferred the Juicys before that). Think it's mostly down to the lever design/shape than anything else though, plus the Shimanos seem to have a more on/off feel that I didn't get on with as much.

Also had a Formula K18 for a while but didn't get on with that much. Tiny pads that wear really quickly, and the lever was too chunky.

I've a set of 2004 M4s. They were bled because I fitted braided hoses in 2007. They still stop like I've just ridden into a barn door.

Some brakes work very well, some don't.

Load of bolloxs talked about brakes get real FFS
