FAQs
Can I use the same kit for both mineral oil and DOT fluid?
Yes, but you must clean the kit extremely thoroughly with brake cleaner between uses if switching fluids to avoid cross-contamination.
Is the brake fluid included?
No, brake fluid is not included. You must purchase the type recommended by your brake manufacturer.
Does this work with all mountain bike brakes?
It is compatible with most major systems like Shimano, Magura, Giant, and Tektro, but check your specific brake model's requirements first.
How do I clean the kit after use?
Use a high-quality brake cleaner to flush the syringes and hoses thoroughly, then allow them to air dry completely.
Are the included gloves reusable?
No, the included gloves are disposable and should be discarded after one use to prevent chemical exposure.
Troubleshooting
Air remains in the line after bleeding
Ensure all fittings are airtight. Repeat the bleed process, focusing on flicking the brake lines to dislodge trapped air bubbles.
Fluid leaking from connections
Check that the adaptors are properly seated and that hoses are secured tightly with the locking clamps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning, identify the brake system on your bike to select the correct adaptor from the kit.
- Preparation: Clean the brake area to prevent debris from entering the system.
- Setup: Secure the bike in a stand and protect the frame from potential fluid drips.
- Bleeding: Follow the specific bleed procedure manual provided by your brake manufacturer (e.g., Shimano or Tektro).
- Maintenance: After the task is complete, clean all syringes, hoses, and adaptors thoroughly using dedicated brake cleaner. Do not store the kit with old fluid inside the syringes, as this can degrade the seals over time.
