I’ve used the pro bleed kit once on my XO setup when setting up my (and wifey’s) bikes, and just did again after a year of trail use. System works great, syringes are top quality, instructions are clear, videos on Youtube are absolutely fantastic. Not sure what there is to complain about.

If you want top performance, you’ll be bleeding your brakes at least once a year anyway, and whether it takes 15 minutes or 20 minutes what does it matter? Every brake system works WAYYY better from a braking and maintenance perspective than anything we had to use just 5 years ago, enjoy it and just have fun.

Just did a bleed with this kit. Easy.

I have BB7s on my bomber hardtail and Big Dummy. Nice and reliable. The hyrdos have a nicer feel and are worth the extra bit of maintenance for my FS trail bike.

Now I know why BB-7′s are so popular! How about a disk brake “shoot-out”?

Or just don’t buy Avids with their absolutely terrible bleed process. Absolutely terrible.
