FAQs

Does this kit include brake fluid?

No, this kit includes the tools required to perform the bleed but does not contain the hydraulic mineral oil.

Can I use this on non-Shimano brakes?

This kit is designed specifically for Shimano MTB systems and may not fit the bleed ports of other brands.

How often should I bleed my brakes?

It is recommended to bleed your brakes once a year, or whenever the lever feel becomes soft or inconsistent.

Is it safe to get brake oil on my rotors?

No, hydraulic oil on your rotors will significantly reduce braking performance. Always clean the rotor thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol if accidental contact occurs.

What is the purpose of the syringe?

The syringe is used to push fresh fluid into the system from the caliper, which helps displace and remove air bubbles moving upward.

Troubleshooting

Brake lever remains spongy after bleeding

Ensure all air bubbles have been fully purged; repeat the process ensuring the master cylinder is kept at the highest point.

Fluid leaking from the syringe connection

Check that the connection point is tight and that the O-rings are free from debris or damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use this kit, ensure your bicycle is securely mounted on a work stand. Always protect your brake pads with a pad spacer or remove them entirely to prevent accidental contamination from brake fluid. After completing the bleed, clean any residual oil from the caliper and rotor using isopropyl alcohol. Store the syringe and funnel in a clean, dry location to prevent debris from entering the system during future maintenance. This kit is exclusively compatible with Shimano mineral oil-based hydraulic disc brakes; do not use it with systems requiring DOT fluid.
