Pros & Cons
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.

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

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
