Brake bleed kit?
Has anyone ever used this brake bleed kit?

The listing says that it is a better way than the two syringe method. I don't know. I am probably going to do some brake bleed work on my Trek FX2.
Thanks,
Danny

I have no idea what they're on about with their assault on using a syringe at the lever. But hey, you could give it a whirl and report back. For me,
2 syringes 4 life

I don't know either, because Tektro has a demo showing two syringes. Maybe might get both types. They are not expensive.

If motorcycle and car caliper bleeding is any guide, the best bleeding procedure is REVERSE bleeding. Inject fluid into the bleed screw at the bottom of the caliper. What you are trying to do is get air out of the system, and air rises in liquids, so by reverse flushing you are pushing the bubbles in the direction they want to go. Whenever I had a stubborn caliper or clutch slave that wouldn't bleed, reverse bleeding worked every time.
