Getting shops to bleed your brakes can be bloody expensive. Some shops charge $70 per end, and when you get the bike back the lever often isn't set up how you like it. And don't even get us started about the wait times for servicing over summer 😅

Solve all of that by bleeding your own brakes. It's pretty easy to pick up and, once you've learned, a full bleed takes about an hour for both ends and costs sod all - just the cost of fluid. You'll also be able to do it when you need to - we've saved a lot of rides by bleeding our brakes at the last minute.  

Here's a kit that we've made for bleeding SRAM mineral-oil based brakes. We've selected components that are all Mineral Oil compatible and will last well. During our research, we were horrified that some kits didn't didn't use mineral-oil compatible tubing, including a notable local brand. Non-compatible tubing swells after months and will only do limited bleeds before splitting.

Kit includes:

• 2x 20mL 2-part syringes with Mineral oil compatible plungers  
• 1x Torx T10 wrench

The fitting options are:

• 2x Threaded: For SRAM DB8 brakes
• 1x Threaded + 1x Bleeding Edge (large): For SRAM Maven & Motive brakes
• 2x Threaded + 1x Bleeding Edge (large): For all SRAM Mineral Oil brakes 

Other notes

• You will also need a bleed block to perform the service
• You can also add mineral oil if you need some. We sell a red coloured mineral oil which can be used with SRAM mineral oil brakes. From a chemical perspective, our fluid is compatible and won't cause seal swelling (which is the concern of off-brand fluids).
• The large bleeding edge fitting for SRAM mineral oil brakes is different to the original bleeding edge fitting, which is used for SRAM DOT 5.1 brakes.
• The bleeding edge (large) fitting only works on bleeding edge brakes and does not work for reverb bleeds
