Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This kit is amazingly complete, and has literally every part conceivable for a full bleed of any sram brake. It came with olives and barbs so that i can shorten the rear brake line, and if you purchase these alone you'll pay $40. Bought for fitting ne...  Read More

Kit comes with everything you need to bleed formula t1 brakes (except rubber gloves and degreaser) follow sram/avid instructions on correct bleeding, it's a bit involved but if you do it correctly, it works perfectly.



Cons

The grease is only offered in a $25, 1oz tub. I realize this is my fault for incorrectly setting the brakes up. It certainly is not worth buying sram's $30 container for what would only require 2 dabs!

But you will pay a premium price for that sram factory kit, hence why only 4 out of 5 stars.


The grease is only offered in a $25, 1oz tub.


I'm paying $70 for this "pro" bleed kit, supposed to come with everything i'll need and more.

Packaging/appearance


Came with all the fitting i could need for mine and my daughters bikes along with brake fluid.


You can figure out what's what, but printed packing list and instructions would be helpful.

Competitiveness


Much easier to use compared to the fiddly shimano “funnel”.


This is a bit more expensive than non-brand kits, but i've had problems with those kits popping a hose off the syringe and spew...  Read More

    Once you open the brake fluid keep the bottle in one or even two sealed plastic bags as it will leak
