Headshot Posted January 22, 2018 Share I scored a deal on a bleed kit from CWC. Or so I thought. Turns out the kit will work on pre 2017 Guide and other brakes but is next to useless on the newer stuff equipped with their so-called "bleeding edge" technology. I discovered this half way through trying to bleed my 2018 Guide R's. These require the "bleeding edge" tool to connect to the bleed port on the caliper. It all looks great on the video and makes bleeding even easier, but of course you need that bleeding new tool thing. I see it available internationally. Has anyone bought one here and how much?

Suidwes Boytjie Posted January 22, 2018 Share Shouldn't the LBS that sell the brakes have the complete bleed kit in their workshop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted January 22, 2018 Share My guide ultimate's shipped with the bleeding edge tool in the package. In fact, it shipped with two of those snap-in adapters. Somehow i recall SRAM saying that because its new, all brakes that utilized bleeding-edge 'tech' were going to ship with the adapter+bleed kit.
