Review on πŸ”§ Efficient Brake Bleed Kit for AVID, Hayes, and Formula: Juscycling's Advanced Hydraulic Disc Brake Bleed Tool by Jerry Frey

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Complete mess for sport

The syringe cannot pull the vacuum hard enough to bleed the brakes completely. Avid elixirs. I bought this rear brake bleed kit for my Avid Elixir R SL mountain bike. This was a very messy process as the tubing does not screw onto the syringe so the syringe fell off the tubing several times during the process and there was DOT liquid everywhere. allows air into the syringe before a vacuum is created strong enough to break the bubbles out of the liquid. The same problem occurs when pumping cylinders. Also, the bottle adapter didn't offer a very strong lever cylinder seal, making it even more difficult to bleed. At the end my brakes are still quite soft.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • old
