back bleeding

[shleppy]

can someone explain, maybe with the aid of diagrams or pictures how to back bleed my brakes. as i hear is meant to give better results and also easier to do by yourself.

Type 'brake bleeding bike' into google and, as if by magic, this and many more appear

If at first you don't succeed, give up and ask someone else to find it for for you change your search terms.

Personally, I just use a syringe, nut there's plenty of different ways. In some cases you have to loosen the banjo bolt to the master cylinder and bleed it to there.

means bleeding the system by its lowest point,normally caliper.Buy a syringe or cheap oil can,fill with brake fluid,fit tube on bleed nipple,open it,take reservoir cap off,slowly squeeze syring/oil can watching for air bubbles in reservoir.when bubbles gone leave for 5 mins,tighten bleed screw and that SHOULD solve crap brake problems.Tim

Sorry mate I actually thought you had spelt it wrong

I prefer to use the end off a spray gun, you know the type they use for spraying water on plants? I fit the end of the pipe on to the bleed nipple and pump away. it sucks the fluid through in no time. Works really well on empty systems which can be a pain in the neck to get fluid through.
