Avid Disc Brake Bleed Kit While Avid have offered the standard bleed kit since they came to the market with the Juicy hydraulic range, they've sought to improve on the original version for those and could benefit from a more durable system. The "Pro" bleed kit takes the same double-syringe design but adds higher quality fittings and better syringes that provide improved sealing. In addition, the metallic hose fittings rotate 360 degrees, which makes awkward manoeuvring around a workstand much easier. If you want the best available quality and prefer not to cut corners, the bulletproof Pro Bleed Kit will appeal to professional and home mechanics alike. Designed specifically for use with Avid disc brakes including the Juicy, Elixir and Code models, the Avid Bleed Kit includes all you need to shorten your brake lines and bleed both brakes. Over time, either water or air will work its way past the seals in your brakes levers and callipers, leading to a spongy feel at the lever, brake fade on longer descents and an inconsistent level of power. Depending on your riding conditions, it is recommended to routinely flush out old brake fluid and bleed any air out of the system to ensure safe and reliable braking, while also lengthening the life of your disc brakes. Some riders may need to do this every 6 months, some may only need to do it once a year, but if you notice any change in performance or consistency in braking, you'll know that your brakes are overdue for some TLC. Included in the kit are 4x barbs and 4x olives that will allow you to shorten 4 individual brake hoses. Typically disc brakes can come with a long hose that is designed to fit a wide variety of bikes, but after fitting them onto your frame you can end up with excessive amounts of brake line in front of your handlebars that is not only messy and potentially a hazard while riding off road, will also lead to a slightly squishier feel at the lever. The shorter the hydraulic line, the more solid your brake feels. If you feel like your brakes are due for fresh fluid or you just want to neaten up those unsightly long hoses, the Avid Disc Brake Bleed Kit will allow you to do both in the comfort of your own workspace.
