just take it to a shop
didn’t miss anything – he showed nothing.
can’t believe he says avid bleed kit manual is great.
try searching for the instructions on SRAM’s web site and enter “bleed”, “bleed kit”, “bleed kit instructions”, no results found
useless video.
oh my fucking god! he said that avid likes DOT 3 and DOT 4.1 it’s DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 you fool.
i’ll bet that he isn’t a bike mechanic and just watches vids on how to do things and then poorly re-tells it
i have shimano breaks on my 08 bigfoot i hope this works on it too
if it has hyraulic disc breaks then yes
MORE WORK LESS TALK BUDDY
what year? what breaks?
why this guy wasn’t actually doing the work?? check out the SRAM channel
Haha, I was saying “humm.. that looks like Mickey” This guy knows every in and out of almost any road, and downhill product he’s very credable, It is a shame that he didn’t give too much insight on bleeding brakes.
wouldthis work with a kona stuff
Hayes uses DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid
Avid uses DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 fluid
did i miss something or did he not actually do anything!!
Pants!
If you can’t figure this much out yourself you probably shouldn’t be riding a bike.. Too general, no useful info here at all. for a _real_ brake bleed instructional vid. I saw this and learned how to bleed my Juicy 5′s here, see “related videos” at the right and select” Avid_Juicy7_Bleed by SRAMtech.
thats good vid, it shows the basics
Where can i find a big seringe?
totally lame. it’s like trying to show how to repair a car without opening the hood. poor.
