My brother in law took my mountain bike at the weekend while i was away. now i have no front break. break fluid all over the pads and wheel rim. dont know how he managed it but like i said i have no break now. I need 4 dot break fluid but i dont have a bleeding kit.

Does anyone know where i can get a decent one at a cheap price?

thanks

this sounds more than a bleeding problem where/how has the fluid leaked and you need to say what make of brake it is

Tell your Brother in law to fix it and tell him if he goes undoing bolts again you'll brake his teath.

If fluid is on your pads you will need new pads too. Pop to an LBS and ask them for a bleed kit. Try a Giant dealer. However the cost of the bleed kit may be more than the cost of a bleed.
