pogonation Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 (edited) Hi, I just had an idea of selling my own homemade bleed kits. They are really cheap and work just as well as magura bleed kits. The basic kit would just be a 30ml or a 50ml syringe, flexible plastic pipe, christmas tree fitting and some simple instructions and I would sell it for about £3.50-£4.50. Picture of one i bodged up earlier. Let me know if you are interested or if you think it's a good idea Also I might do a kit with spare olives, oil, etc. Edited November 27, 2005 by pogonation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pogonation Posted November 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Lol ok, firstly to joe elding: yes I could allthough it would cost you extra And to joe maher: I heat the tube in boiling water to make it softer and expand. and to james porter: It is no different except it might be a bit better quality and it's a bit more affordable :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomN Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Will you be selling the syringe on its own aswell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 I broke my original bleed kit syringe 3 days after getting it whilst i was on holiday in penzance, i was pushing the hosing onto the syringe and the bloody syringe snapped. :D You get some really funny looks when you walk around town asking people in shops if they sell big fat syringes :D :lol: . The woman in boots was like "er.. what are you going to use this for? It better be legal!" (Y) if your having trouble with the blocks to put hold the pipe still while you try to push the little metal fitting into it you can get 2 pieces of wood and then get a drill with a 6-8mm drill bit (i don't know exactly what size) then push the drill onto the wood sideways on so it makes a groove in the side of the wood, then you can put the hose inbetween the two blocks and clamp it in a vice.

Waynio Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 im lost, how is this any different? its the same as what i got, except i have to use the syringe you get with dmr V8's cause my big one went wank ye remember in wales when i broke mine (Y) haha, bloody sodding thing, all my propa tools were in my big blak bag of tricks and had to use a DMR V8 syringe that luckily we took with us when we left shrewsberrys! haha. was propa BO! altho with the DMR V8 syringe if you break th cross over pipe you have to bleed it about 3times :lol: cos there isnt enuff oil in the syringe to do one bleed. teks a while but works the same.

haydon_peter Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 So you are selling an incomplete bleed kit, along with simple intructions, for £3.50-£4.50. You are then going to be charging people extra for the second bleed hose/christmas tree fitting that you actually require to bleed a brake properly!?!? :) :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Motivator Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 You could just use a sink full of water and a couple of allen keys. Thats free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 You could just use a sink full of water and a couple of allen keys. Thats free. what if you use oil?

The Dude Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 what about those of us with an official bleed kit (stupid idea for £20), at after use are lacking olives, the hoses and christmas trees? id be interested in one of them, (with or without srynge at that price) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogonation Posted November 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Oy terror error I have never ripped anyone off, don't you dare falsely accuse me, I have never even owned let alone sold any monty bars and I have never dealt with you anyway, look at my past posts you retard. And while you're at it I want a damn good apology after you say that I have been ripping people off. You want to use your memory a bit better next time and remember the real person before accusing someone of something they didn't do especially when they are trying to sell something and you are saying they are an incompetent seller. :) apology now please!

Why should i give an apology after you call me a retard? :) Anyways, i know, as do many others, you havnt just had this user name.... you had one before this one, i cant remember what it was though, but your cousin was selling a yellow T-mag, through you, and it had some monty flat bars on.... i said i would buy them for £16, then when i sent the money, i was waiting for 3 weeks, both for you to come onto msn, and for the bars. eventually you came on and said that they kept sending the bars back to you, and you didnt know why.... so you said you would sent the money back, but you never did, and every time i asked you where it was, you would say it was sitting next to you, and you were gonna send it off... where is it?
