Brake bleed kits - MTBIKER.shop

Choosing a bleed kit for bicycle brakes depends on the type of brakes, as different brake systems may require specific kits. Generally, bleed kits are used to remove air bubbles and restore hydraulic brake fluid in the brake system. Thus ensuring optimum performance. Below are the steps to help you choose a breather kit:

Identify your braking system: Determine the make and model of the bicycle brakes. Common brands include Shimano, SRAM, Avid, Magura and more. Make sure the bleed kit you pick is compatible with your particular brake system.
Consider the type of fluid: Check the type of hydraulic fluid the brake system uses (e.g. mineral oil or DOT brake fluid).
Brake kit components: Flexible tubing and adapters are used to connect the syringe to the brake caliper and lever. Two syringes are usually used - one for injecting fresh brake fluid and the other for removing old fluid and air bubbles, other kits include a funnel. Some kits include a spacer to hold the brake pistons in place.

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and the specific instructions provided with the bleed kit to ensure a successful and safe process of bleeding your bike's brakes.
