DemitriN Posted April 6, 2017 Share I'm about to bleed my Shimano brakes & wondering what method is best. From the top down or the bottom up? I don't have the expensive pro kit, just the basic tools, some tubing & 2 syringes. Any assistance appreciated :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
