Had never attempted bleeding the hydraulic brakes before on my bikes but as 3 of my bikes have hydraulic brakes thought bit was about time I found out how to do it, to be fair it was much easier than I had expected and this kit is just perfect for the job
I would give 5 stars having shopped around definitely value for money to say the least but reduced by one star because the metal adapter there are two adapters for different brand of brakes.
The adapter screws into your brake lever then you place the cup onto the adapter rather then screwing into it, the cup bottom has two o rings rather then ring and thread it doesn’t feel as snug as I would have thought but still does the job there’s no leakage but I can’t help but think it’s not as air tight as it could be for peace of mind.
Having said that worked a treat for my Shimano brakes. P.S it comes with two bottles of 150ml mineral oil not 300ml I only used half of a bottle on brand new Shimano brakes.
Simply packaged. Generous fluid volume provided. Funnel fits well. Syringe and tubing fit well on bleed nipple. Piston spacers work well.
Easy to use. Nice price for a piece of equipment you use occasionally.
Never bled Shimano disc brakes before. Found an instructional video on youtube. This kit made it easy. My bikes brakes are now working perfectly. Plenty left for the next time.
This kit does not fit my Shimano Tektro brakes. None of the adaptors are suitable. Requesting a refund from seller, due to inaccurate description saying that it is suited for Shimano brakes.
Update – seller responded to this review promptly and volunteered a full refund, which has been processed in 2 days. Whilst the description needs updating for this product to include the Shimano brakes it doesn’t fit, I cannot fault the Seller’s response to this feedback and would be happy to use them again.
I was quoted 63 in a bike shop for the ‘official’ Shimano kit and that doesn’t include the necessary mineral oil brake fluid. At a fifth of the price this kit includes two 150ml bottles of brake fluid as well as everything else you need. There are instructions but as you know YouTube is your friend for these jobs. I had never bled brakes before or even removed the brake pads, but all went well. I guess it’s a 15 minute job once you understand what is going on. Everything in this kit was just as it should be, really pleased.
