Nice and easy

Speedy delivery and easy to use for bleeding my Magura breaks. I think I'll need to use them quite often.

High quality, reasonably priced bleed kit...

The kit has good quality hardware and enough fluid for a basic bleed. I had to remove/drain a lever so I needed more but for normal maintenance, the kit is good. Instructions are sound.

Good

Kit has everything you need, instructions could do with some improvement for MT5s. I eventually tilted the bike to drop the caliper and get it upright for the bleed. Lever slightly up. Replaced the lever screw then raised the back end/caliper slightly higher than the lever before replacing caliper port screw, this have a really tight feel after. Bought the lot thinking the instructions would be useful but had to look at others online.

Bleed kit

Kit is fine but I couldn't get rubber screw out of the brake so could only do a half job. Otherwise brake lock and syringes fit fine and of course the oil is compatible for Magura brakes

Best DIY bleed kit

I ordered this kit to bleed the brakes of my newly bought secons hands bike, and the price was exactly on point for my budget. At 15 Euros it is the single best price on the market. Easy and quick, quality products and a quick delivery makes this a very good experience :)

Never done this before and it was a breeze with this kit

I revived an old mountain bike and used this kit to get Magura Julie and Louise brakes working well again. Good value I thought.

Spongey barkes no more..!

I have plenty of experience with hydraulic brakes on motor bikes and cars, but a complete novice on bikes.. principles the same you just have to be a little more delicate! Instructions are great and the kit performs perfectly. A well thought through kit.

Good kit

Only pick up I have is that it would be better if the balked scree was part of the actual kit, or a actual replacement part so that you didn’t have to remove the Caliper blank to screw in the bleed kit as there is a possibility of inducing air into the system when removing bleed kit and refitting the calliper blank

Harder than I thought

I have a Workcycles Kr8 bike with Magura HS11 rim brakes. As it's a cargo bike the brake lines are rather long. This was my first time playing with brake fluid and I managed to break the o-ring on the syringe (seemed to hold pressure still though). I tried to do the process according to the instructions and videos but never managed to get proper pressure in the line and ended up taking the bike to the local Magura representative. They did say it's a bit of a challenge because of the long lines so I didn't feel too bad about failing myself. Still a waste of money for me but hey at least I tried. Nothing wrong with the product though so I would recommend to a friend but mention that it's not as easy as it seems.

The kit contains everything you need to bleed hydraulic brakes with ease. The price was reasonable, ordering hassle free and delivery as promised. This is how all on line experiences should be.

Easy to use

Thanks for a super easy kit to use, not being a cycle mechanic I was nervous about having a go myself but managed with no problems, I did take advice about the bleed screw , finger tight only, you’ve been warned.

Dad the bike mechanic Rating: 4/5 4 / 5 28th February 2018
Works well

Nice clear instructions. Does the job well. However, we had to pump more fluid through this system than supplied to get rid of all the air. Not a fault of Epic Bleed: the bike is only 6 months old so the air must have gone in when it was built and got trapped in some corner somewhere.

MT4 bleed

excellent bleed kit & instructions. follow the instructions exactly. If you have a problem with bleeding the front brake, take it off & let it hang to let all the air bubbles out the tube at the top!

4-stars

Fairly straightforward bleed, but you have to be careful to read the instructions and ensure you understand them fully, before you start. I completed my bleed OK, little bit of fluid was lost, but that was my inefficiency!

e-biker Rating: 4/5 4 / 5 28th June 2017
Good kit!

Thanks to your clear instructions bleeding the back brake on my smart e-bike was an easy job, the only minor problem being that the syringe supplied for the brake lever was too small to fit the bleed hole. This was easily overcome by cutting a short length of the plastic tubing supplied with the kit and fitting it onto the end of the syringe. I could then push the other end of the tube into the hole and complete the procedure. The back brake is now working perfectly!

Almost perfect

Would be five stars but the syringes are rather thin. One arrived with a small split (easily solved with a bit of tape) but they give you the feeling they could split easily and need to be handled very gently. Otherwise excellent instruction and I had not trouble with bleeding my brakes.

Dog-Cart rider Rating: 5/5 5 / 5 4th September 2013
Great kit, good price, excellent service!

Ordered from Norway, kit got here in a few days. I have bleed my Magura rim brakes on a Sacco Dog cart. The kit is good and comes with a short easy to understand "how to".

It is not as fancy as the one at the local bike shop, but I do not see the need. The magura royal blood bottle was a little small to flush/fill the lengthy hydraulic lines on this dog-cart (it is plenty for a bike). I found mineral hydraulic oil at a local car parts shop. Flushed the whole system (just to be sure).

I even used an Avid line from a bike to repair a broken line on the dog-cart which previously was filled with dot4 (I flushed that separately first with mineral oil). Now the brakes works like a charm. Royal blood is probably overrated. The best part is customer service. Hands down best service!

Magura Bleed Kit

The kit was great, had all the bits you need at a much lower price than the original manufacturer. Was going to try and buy all the bits separately online (as I wasn't prepared to shell out £30 for 2 syringes and a bit of oil) but this did the trick.
