When i bleed it should i use a syringe and push fluid up or just pump fluid down with the lever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it in the lever but make sure you make it straight first and pull the lever open the bleed nipple fill, it up a couple of times pull the lever in and out till theres no air tighten the bleed nipple up and you and the top cap thing and youre done.

Will Arnold Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 to be honest i'd push the fluid up from the bottom using a syringe - tends to chase the air up through the system in my experience.can be messy though, you have been warned!

trialsmax04 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I blead it from caliper to lever. I would try it the other way first. Mine still has air in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
