For bleeding SKX brakes. What size do I ask for when I pop into the chemists (I'm assuming that strolling in and asking for a syringe with a bit of tubing for bleeding brakes will be met with a blank stare!)
Thanks
Might struggle to find 1 big enough in a chemists, try a vet, 50-100ml is prob best.
50ml is about right for brake bleeding. As long as it fits your tube it'll be fine otherwise.
vets are better for syringes about 50 p ish for 50 ml ones
I used these people and the delivery/price was pretty good.

And no i'm not affiliated with them.
Go to vets and ask for the one they use to inseminate cattle...it's a big 'un but should satisfy all your bleeding needs!
For motorbike brakes I use 60ml ones but for pushbikes that's a heck of a lot of fluid, I use 20ml ones for that.
+1 for medsave, bought a pack of 10 for about 3 quid for use doing brakes , fork services etc. got either 20 or 50ml cant remember off top of my head.
