Ash-Kennard Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 maguras end up spongey and sluggish when there is air in the system, or even if it just an old brake so people put in fresh fluid to sharpen up the system. you can bleed it using two methods, one is with a bleed kit, which is basically a syringe with hoses attached. or using a bath bleed, where you put the wholebrake under water and pump the lever to suck the water inside.

t-mag boi Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 You can either use a sringe or a basin bleed, i would go for the basin bleed as no air can get inmichael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z o o !! Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Syringe can be kind of tricky, as said above theres and art to it, However, i found that if you use a bottle it get more fluid through, i normally to a bath bleed and use the bottle, the advantage of using a bath bleed is when you take the bleed tube out, the water cant escape.

Ben John-Hynes Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 for an amazing bleed*Fill your sink/bath with water*take the bolt out of the lever (not the hose, the other bolt)*take the bolt out of the cylinder*submerge the whole brake in the water*pull the lever several times so there is no air coming out of either hole*screw the water filled syringe into the lever*and push the water throug the system*unscrew the syringe and put both bolts back in, whist still under water!Best Bleeds EVER!Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
