Covers all the bases

For just a bit more than a single focus kit, you can be the hero when buddies aren't prepared. I've helped more than one friend with their first bleed of a fresh bike (that moment when you realized your old kit doesn't fit your new brake's setup). The kit is high quality with everything needed for bleeds.

Top Notch !

Bought this kit with the added bleeding edge tool to do my Shimano and Sram (2017+) models. Arrived in good time with all the bits needed. Bleeding was easy and the kit worked brilliantly !! Highly recommended to any one looking for a cheaper alternative to manufacturer kits.

Universal soldier!

Ordered the universal bleed kit and fluid which was delivered promptly and in full, everything I need is in the kit. I can now quickly and easily bleed and tinker with bite points to get all the brakes on my bikes feeling dialled.

Everything you need at sensible price.

Although I do a lot of bike maintenance work, bleeding hydraulic brakes systems is something I've avoided. But with the Epic Bleed kit, it was just a case of following the online directions.

Should have bought this years ago!

'Avid brakes are a nightmare to bleed' the internet told me. I put off doing it myself for years. Finally I gave in and bought one of these kits - it was so straightforward I wish I had done it sooner and saved myself some money.

Perfect kit for every brake

While I was looking for an alternative to the original bleed kit of my MTB's brakes, I stumbled over this website and it was the best that could have happened. The kit works fine with my old Hayes brakes as well as two types of new SRAMs. Cheers to everybody !

Universal bleed kit

Great bit of kit, makes bleeding brakes easy! Instructions and tips on the website are really thorough and helpful. I've also bought the brake hose cutter and the top cap spanner for my fork - both perfect! Cheap and fast international shipping - I'm in New Zealand. Heard about epicbleed in a GMBN video.

Quick shipping to the US and an 'All you can need' Type of kit!

As my title eludes, I live in the US. The shipping from the UK was quick and worry free with good shipment tracking. The kit once received worked flawlessly. The kit included everything that I'd need to service any brand of hydraulic brakes including fluid. Have used on multiple brake manufacturers and everything has worked well so far. 100% would recommend to friends and others!

So easy to use

I bought this to bleed the brakes for my Cannondale Prophet, which I am about to sell. It took a little while to bleed as I had never done this before, but the video online made this much easier, and after a bit of time and concentration it worked an absolute treat. I have a bike which needs the SRAM Edge adapter, so waiting for this to come out now.

Good Value, Could Have Better Syringes

This kit is great for working on a wide variety of manufacturers brakes. It has not failed to fit anything I've tried so far. The syringes however would be much better if they were all plastic, including the piston seal. The rubber deteriorates quickly with mineral oil usage, even with careful cleaning.

Epic Brake Solutions Bleed Kit review

Absolutely spot on this one ... I'm in the process of doing a full review on the Epic Brake Solutions, if you want to save loads of money you need to check this kit out, If I can bleed my MTB Brakes I'm pretty sure you can.. I'm no bike mechanic.. The system makes bleeding brakes a easy job, dont be afraid and give it a try.

Easy bleed in did!

I've just bleeded my Hayes Stroker brakes in half an hour. It is easy, it is clean, it is simple. The only thing I would recommend to epicbleedsolutions.com is applying some plastic tightener over the hose on the caliper side. The hose slips off the valve relatively easy, which can cause spilling.

easy to use...

Use this kit in Halfords where i work, knowing the hasstle of purging the old fluid out and running out of space in the top syringe, my advice to everyone if your doing this, is ,purchase 2 of the largest syringes with this kit.... what a doodle doing it this way!

This advice is free, and your welcome! :-)

Universal Bleed Kit

Having at the ripe age of seventy recently started riding a bike again occasionally and like most people had the odd puncture or two followed by hydrolic brake failure I purchased the universal Bleed kit that proved so simple and effective to use that I would have no hesitation recommended epicbleedsolutions.

Downhilldad Rating: 5/5 5 / 5 4th February 2016
Simple and effective

We bought the kit to bleed my sons MTB brakes, because despite the fact he is 16 and knows everything he couldn't get the feel he wanted at the lever. We will gloss over that he knows everything about bleeding brakes. And as we all know the perfect lever feel is everything, but funnily enough he couldn't get that feel.

The kit did everything I expected of it, improving the lever feel dramatically. It still isn't perfect for him, but it is better than my motorbike brakes.

East to use clear instructions. Will I buy again? 100% yes!

Makes bleeding a clean job to a reasonable price

Used to bleed with a home made kit consisting of a pet medicine syringe and cheap plastic tube. Decided to try this kit instead and can say that the threaded adaptors and thought-through equipment make all the difference. No more oil spilling all over!

Universal Bleed Kit

The bleed kit covers most applications. The parts fit well to the brake types intended and work well. The instructions you can see online are good and if you have not bled brakes before a good guide. As I am setting up some dedicated kits for brake types this kit was a useful start and will be purchasing some other parts later. When ordered also arrived promptly so good service.

cheap and get the job done

great bleed kits for the price , the adaptors (little brass end pieces ) could do with larger flanges to get a better seal on the lever or calliper but apart from that i had no issues , BTW i have been a pro cycle mechanic for 25 years and all the kits i use are from Epic , my current avid kit has done over 50 bleeds and the syringes are still holding up fine , if you are bleeding older shimano and Hayes systems do get some 3mm ID pvc hose from your local aquarium shop for £1 a meter as the stuff that epic supply is a touch loose on the calliper nipple and also goes opaque after being used once with dot fluid , stuff from the local tropical fish dealer has been fine.

all in all great products but i do wish the brass adapters were available separately and a few extra o rings in the kit would be good too. Thanks again Epic for doing what you do , you are saving cyclists and mechanics.
