created by cutting a length of an old bar (from a halfrauds bho, so thick my pipe cutter blade wasn't long enough to cut all the way through ๐Ÿ˜ฏ ) and a 180 post-to-post shimano brake adaptor and a couple of zip ties. Its arrange so both syringes are vertical (formula oros) and close together for easy operation. Anyway was really useful for the 10 mins I needed it for ๐Ÿ™‚

I am guessing you don't want anyone to copy how you do it? ๐Ÿ˜†

I am wondering how the bike is hovering above the workstand though. You shoud definitely patent that invention.

it's only there to distract you from the dirty and scuffed wall behind.

nice but not alot of rise between the 2 - and the hose is going to be looped and looped potentialy trapping air.

i used to clamp an old seat post in the clamp and clamp the caliper in a vice at a lower level making sure the hose was straightened out with the caliper a good bit higher than the caliper.

havnt had to bleed a brake off the bike in ages since customers stopped bringing me just the brake meaning i had to be creative with ways to bleed them.

it would be normally but I was reading the [url= http://formulabrakeusa.com/formula/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/bleed_instructions_final.pdf ]US formula importer bleeding pdf [/url]they suggest having the syringes vertical from the MC & caliper which would need the bike to be sticking out horizontally from the stand with the caliper on the front upside down :-). It's quite nice having the syringes side by side for push the fluid back and forwards to release any trapped air.
