trialsalot Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 So I've just bought some of the 2011 HS33 and I know you can bath bleed the 05's. Question is has anyone tried to bath bleed the 2011 ones. I'm assuming technique is the same and since they're new I should be able to flush them out easier. Cheers chaps!!

isitafox Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 2011's are a pain in the arse to bath bleed, if I were you I'd run them standard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsalot Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Yeah I've shortened the front hose. Problem is I let the hose flick about and lost some oil. If I reassemble as is there's a huge chance of a whopper of an air bubble. Edited January 11, 2014 by trialsalot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 It'll be easier to rebleed with mineral oil than bath bleed with water EDIT: Here's the Tarty guide to top them up, piece of piss! http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/176760-2011-hs11-hs33-bleed-information/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Nooooo they're not a pain in the arse to bath bleed. I've done it loaaaads of times. The only difference is that you have to undo the nut that goes into the lever and sits in the hose (really hard to explain it). Like you where going to remove the hose from the lever totally: BUT only undo the bolt so 3 threads are showing. Then remove the little plastic plug that's on the lever and just do the usual thing.

jack iveson Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I bled mine in a bucket and they were fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsalot Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Yeah that makes sense actually. Thanks for the advice guys. Much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Right then. 2011's. One important rule, do it in a big vessel, like a sink, and make sure you keep the entire thing underwater until you have completely reassembled the brake. Assuming you have flushed through and are ready to water bleed, here's what to do. REMEMBER: keep it all under water Wind the tpa all the way out Completely unscrew the hose from the lever body Using a syringe and barbed fitting, pre fill the hose from the slave end until no air bubbles come out. If you have to repeat it, do it until it's completely air free. Take the plug out of the lever, and pump the lever until no air comes out of the end. Use the cover/uncover method, it does work Screw the hose back into the lever leaving the port uncovered Force through some more water just to make sure its completely air free. Once you have done this, tighten the hose up fully into lever, and put the screw back into the slave, and insert the plug back in Lift your now amazingly bled fully working brake out of the water Your brake should now work awesomely well and bite like a mofo Edited January 11, 2014 by bing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williams Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Worth to mention is that if you have a 4-finger 2011 brake with good condition slaves, they are going to be soooooo fast compared to 05's. It's like pulling the lever blade without a spring or anything in there that has resistance. It's amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Yeah mine felt awesome once I'd water bled it. And noticeably firmer compared to a magura royal blood bleed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsalot Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Well ive just reassembled and chopped off the half inch of hose that had no fluid in it and it seems fine (currently with magura blood in it). if its cack then its going in the bath. I got the 4 finger levered version so when I've got time i'll get it bled with the finest council pop I can find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTTY___ Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 2011's are a pain in the arse to bath bleed, if I were you I'd run them standard! Disagree. Mine was a doddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
