This kit is one of the more comprehensive kits available in the market and should enable bleeding of major makes such as Shimano, SRAM etc.
The dual language Chinese/English manual is quite good and reasonably instructional. If you’ve ever bled car or motorcycle brakes then this kit will be easy to use. If not, there’s plenty of videos on YouTube to show you how.
The kit includes a generous 180ml of Mineral Oil in 3x60ml bottles, which is enough to do at least five bleeds — it takes about 40-50ml per bleed…There are plenty of different nozzles for all the main brands of brake levers/callipers. The feed funnel is a welcome inclusion and incorporates a plunger/stopper to control the flow of the oil. Alternatively, you can use one of the two syringes supplied.
There are 3 different piston blocks (Highway-, 2-piston and 4-piston). The two Torx wrenches are fairly basic and you may wish to use your own. There’s a basic 7+8mm spanner included. The kit is all contained in a decent plastic storage box.
The manual mentions a Fluid Catch Bottle, which isn’t included in the kit but any old jam jar or container would do.
Pros :
Comprehensive range of nozzles for major makes
Generous amount of Mineral Oil
Good quality storage box
Funnel and syringes for two methods of filling
Good value
Cons:
No fluid catch bottle
Manual doesn’t 100% match the supplied kit
In Summary, a great, comprehensive kit for several full front/back bleeds of mineral oil based bicycle brakes.
Bought this to redo my brakes and amazed really, clear instructions and plenty of options for different systems to bleed and refill, never dared do it before it this made the job a breeze and plenty of videos on youtube if you do find the instructions a problem. Simple to use and really good value considering the prices a shop would charge you.
Well blow me over…
Just topped up the fluid in both front and back, and…I now a working pair of brakes. Lots of pressure in the front, a little less in the back.
BUT I think this might be down to not elevating the bike high enough to release air in the horizontal sections of the rear setup (going vertical next time).
Well pleased as still have loads of fluid left (two and a half bottles) for plenty more top ups.
Gloves, syringes, fluid reservoir, loads of adapters and tubes to fit a variety of set ups, a spanner and two double headed star heads.
Great set. Easy to use. Good value.
I”d buy again.
I do my brakes a couple of times a year, sometimes more if I start feeling a bit of fade, so this was very welcome. I have to say, it’s one of the better bleed kits I’ve had and has all you need and more to do the job, and everything is great quality. Including the allen keys is a really nice touch too – they’re all too easy to loose when you’re working 2-handed! Very, very good value and I’ll be keeping the kit even when the mineral oil runs out – which will take a while, there’s LOADS of it!
Contains all the bits you’d need. The added tools are a nice addition, as well – you can never find them when you need to do a quick brake bleed!
The rubber flanges between the cups seem to be solid and don’t clip and the mineral oil is no different between brands – no doubt from the same factory in any case. Considering how much this costs, I’d absolutely give it a thumbs up. Handy little pamphlet included, also.
One top tip, is to hang your bike up (swivel the brake filler to face-up) overnight, and then any bubbles will rise to the top, saving further issues!
Received the items and within 15 minutes I had bleed both front and rear brakes. All the components within the kit functioned flawlessly. As a total novice with little to no experience when it comes to cycle maintenance I was dubious this would work and was considering purchasing the Shimano branded products at considerably more expense. Glad I did not, extremely pleased and would recommend this product to any hobby cyclist as part of their maintenance kit.
Good brake bleeding kit. Decent quality and works well. Enabled me to bleed my bike brakes myself instead of taking it to the bike shop for a brake service. The kit has everything needed to bleed the brakes and is easy enough to use. Overall a good brake bleeding kit.
