Shimano Bleed Kit - Pretoria


Rudi Pollard

Recommended Posts

I need to bleed my Shimano brakes as I replaced the cables today, but I only have a SRAM bleeding kit. Anyone willing to lend me their bleeding kit in Pretoria tomorrow or does anyone know who has stock that I can go and buy it tomorrow morning?

Older or new tech Shimano ?

 

Older units you inject the fluid from the bleed nipple up into the system.

 

New tech you need the funnel at the top. In a pinch, get a small syringe that can fit into the threaded part on the pod ...

Dischem and your local nursery...! Two syringes, some plastic hose and an irrigation system screw in nipple. Probably less than 20 bucks and you’re sorted.

Thanks I'll go and have a look tomorrow morning

The funnel isobviously ideal .... the key bit being the little pin that helps you prevent spillage when you remove the funnel.

 

 

If you cant get a funnel ... get a small syringe that can screw into the top
