Boswell Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Basically you defo shouldn't buy a new one take it back and make the assholes rebleed it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Bleed it yourself,will always get a better bleed than when you give it to a shop to do it.Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sideburns(dnt ask) Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Alright matewell i suppose you could try a water bleed which resolves the issue of having to buy a bleed kit.pretty simple on how to do it i think theres an article on it on the wiki section take a look and then decide matepeacebtw if theres not an article on it will be happy to help by giving you any info you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 before you buy a new anything, take it appart and have a go at fixing it, if you break it, or can't fix it, then you haven't really lost out, then you can buy a new one, i'd deffinatley try a water bleed though.did you notice any fluid leaking from anywhere on the break, like the lever or the pistons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Try sticking it under water, then pump the lever while trying to hold the pads in place. Your then notice if it's leaking or not.But yeah do a water bleed, can't see it freezing for another 6 months at least now. I wasn't sure on it at first, but it is actually really good.Most people like above will reccomend it. Save yourself the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
