Lewis-Trials Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hello well i bought some Avid Juicy 5 of ebay and the front brake is working well but the back brake felt spongy, So i tryed to fix it and by accident took the bleed bolt of and air got in i think and now the pads are stuck together and so i need help. Would i need to buy the Avid Juicy Bleedkit or if i put my mind to it make a kit my self becuase i have all the stuff to do so. I'm in need of help because my dad is p****** off so much about me not having a back brake and not having a bike to ride to school.I need as much information as possible please.

sstein Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 The avids have a custom bleed kit, so building one is out of the question. Buy the kit, push the pistons back, clean the pads and file them a bit if neccesary and then bleed the brake and put it back on. Problem solved. If you still have trouble the instructions that come with the brake (or bleed kit for that matter) are very good, check them out here!
