Shimano bleed-kit recommendations
I've got a bike with 2018 Shimano 105 parts. I suspect there might be a little air in the rear brake's lines, and I feel like I should be able to deal with my brakes just on general principle.
I see there are a number of options for bleed kits out there and I'm wondering if there's one kit in particular I should look out for or avoid.
(I've got Zinn's book and obviously access to the Internet. I think I can follow instructions for bleeding.)

You need a Shimano kit with Shimano Mineral Oil, the rest wont work. There will be a cup for use at the hoods and a syringe for use at the caliper. My advice would be to only use Shimano Mineral Oil, no copies.
You will also need some rags and some isopropyl alcohol for clean up.
