Daveee Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) I'm buying a new bike tomorrow and it needs a rebleed I've never bled a brake before I just payed to have it done but to prevent wasting £30 or whatever it is, do I need some kind of special bleeding kit to do this or could I just use something similiar to a syringe? And btw, I've checked a few pages of Wiki & FAQ.Thanks,Df. Edited March 26, 2009 by Daveee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickkkkk Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) hiyya, i take it your reffering to bleeding maggura HS33. Well you can either get yourself a syringe from somewhere... i got mine from a vet, some rubber tube and a spare nipple. or you could get yourself the full kit from www.tartybikes.co.uk for about £20. If your a real trialser you shouldn't need to send your bike to the shops . just have a go using the guide on the wiki part of the forum. If you mess up then you will no for next time. it can take a bit of practice but they really arn't that complicated and there is very little you can break if your careful. hope this helps, good luck Nick Edited March 27, 2009 by Nickkkkk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forteh Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 A nipple?And i've checked wiki and couldn't find anything.He means the barbed fitting, you can buy them individually from tarty I believe.If youre going to water bleed (recommended really) then you dont need a bleed kit, just take the brake off the bike and bath bleed it - instructions are in the wiki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
