How to: TRP DHR-EVO Brake Bleed

[@philn9205]

Thank you TRP for using mineral oil! and thank you for making the bleeding process exactly the same way I bleed my Shimano brakes!

[@bearjewmtb4827]

This doesn’t make sense. After you take the syringe if you pull the lever without putting the bleed port bolt back on the caliper. Wouldn’t the oil just piss out with you pull the lever?

[@Kjdupla]

My exact thoughts

[@alejandrolemmo]

I was going to say the same. All that oil came right out 😂

[@ridetabai8830]

I think they messed up on the vid editing lol

[@Brute539]

1:18 video editing needs looking at here, what you’re instructing people to do will end up with a nice mess out of the caliper 😂

[@Sivart-508PIR]

I just about to ask if I really remove the syringe and leave it open, then actuate the brake leaver again. Seems to me that would shoot mineral oil all over my shop floor.

[@craigevans8912]

First watch and I noticed that… pull the lever and watch it all piss out the calliper 😂

[@teddydark3601]

Can you use the bleed equipment for shimano breaks? (Cup and syringe) also can you use shimano mineral oil?

[@Danielxperez14]

The shimano mineral oil you can use, idk about the bleed equipment since I use a 10$ kit from Amazon with lots of different fittings

[@travelthenarrowtrail8660]

Best brakes ever created. Thanks for the tutorial...

[@ariellouiseong2247]

Quick question, what adapter did you guys use for the wolftooth lever? Thanks

[@howlerbikepark]

We actually had to use the clamp mount, Wolf Tooth doesn't integrate with TRP yet!

[@dilanweerasinghe6482]

The DHR-EVO levers use the Shimano IS-II standard. I believe this part would allow you to mount the Wolf Tooth lever directly to the brake lever: www.wolftoothcomponents.com/products/remote-replacement-axle?variant=21422969349

[@dilanweerasinghe6482]

Scratch that… the ispec adapters ALMOST work. There’s an extra lip in them that interferes with how they mount under the trp clamp. You can cut/grind/file this lip off to make it work though. It’s not a direct solution.

[@philn9205]

I just tried the wolf tooth i-spec ii to sram MM, it does not fit. Looks like EVO's clamp mounting surface is a little wider than what i-spec ii is designed for. I had to order the integrated mtb shift adapter hd 3.7 directly from trp.

[@panhandlemtb4308]

Do you add a drop of blue locktite on the caliper bleed port plug? I notice min oil around the plug and I keep getting contaminated pads!

[@MrSupermugen]

thats what we had to do.

[@thegrave2000]

@@MrSupermugen Holy shit, is that serious? They couldn''t design a proper bolt with a seal on a 250EUR disk brake?!?

[@MrSupermugen]

@@thegrave2000 yeah, they even suggested we use it lol

[@thegrave2000]

@@MrSupermugen Jeez, I'd rather not unscrew this bolt at all and go with a half bleed, no matter how much time it takes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2qvZXingb54mJI I have this very same problem on my current crappy Chinese Surron brakes and this is the main reason I want to swap them but definitely if their master cylinder is going to leak as well :)

[@45graham45]

Thant's a crap design. I've read that these brakes have issues with the bleed port seals being very easy to crush, resulting in contaminated pads & glazed disks. Seem to be very fussy.

[@mano8033]

what is the thread of the lever bleed port (and funnel then) ? M5 ?

[@davefellows]

Any reason you can't do this with the pads and wheel still in place so you don't need to use a bleed block? I assume the risk is getting oil on your pads but as long as you're careful not to then I assume that would work...

[@MrSupermugen]

im having non stop issues with these brakes rubbing, they are bled and the lever feels so good, pistons advanced evenly but after a trail or two one side pushes out more and stay against the disc.... messing up the feel... super frustrating, ive tried lubing and working the pistons on that other side but they are free...

[@MathieuBrunet-wu7nf]

You ever get this fixed?

[@MrSupermugen]

@@MathieuBrunet-wu7nf One end fixed itself after i split the caliper and pulled all pistons etc. The other end i tried the same but still same thing... Bought anther set, did the same, gone back to Shimano and now Mavens.

[@MathieuBrunet-wu7nf]

@@MrSupermugen interesting, is splitting these open pretty simple? I’m also now debating selling these and getting the mavens.

[@MrSupermugen]

@@MathieuBrunet-wu7nf yep simple as. its all very basic stuff

[@panhandlemtb4308]

@@MathieuBrunet-wu7nfI have a similar problem and im beginning to say trp brakes are a joke. They weep oil and contaminant pads and get air bubbles trapped behind the pistons. My front one is a lucky one and works great. The rear gave me trouble early on. Trp even had me send it in only to send it back saying its fine. Mounted it and same issues. Biggest issue I have is bite point. Feels good on the stand. Drop the bike and shake the rear wheel and the rotor flexes and pushes the pistons in and then the lever pulls to the grip. Pump them up and feels good. Pita

[@supersonic-parts]

What Thread have the funnel?

[@Danielxperez14]

Where can I buy the bleed kit they used in this video?

[@ridemx323]

Anyone else have issues with the syringe not sealing on the caliper?

[@86309]

yes the O ring squishes out and doesn't seal. , it does not fit in the bleed screw hole. very easy to induce air into it. I looked at all the fittings in the kit but they are not any different. plus not having a clear cup to see bubbles is really not the best idea.

[@thegrave2000]

@@86309 is there any better bleeding kit for these brakes?

[@patricioferrera7070]

nice and simple ! great video

Hey, any chance you could tell me the thickness of the bleed block?

[@panhandlemtb4308]

This is 6 months past due but its 9.9mm

[@ethandot]

Better late then never! 😅

[@jeffjacksonmtb]

The bleed block I got from TRP is black and it doesn't fit. My Shimano one fits, but it is 10.1mm.

[@ethandot]

I’ve been using magura ones

Great video except for the blur

[@oosteveo315]

Bleed cup? f-that - BE A MAN and let it drip on the garage floor...

[@gdirrty216]

They went way too fast at the most critical juncture, which is the level bleed. Terrible post

[@treewheasel]

THIS IS JUST NOT THE WAY TO DO YOUR BLEED < MOVE ON

[@alejandrobeauchamp5741]

This was a horrible video that instructed me to dump fluid all over my floor, now my brakes aren’t working and i have a mess to clean up.

[@cellphonenut]

I’ve watch this 10 times to see if I was missing something. Pressurized the lever with bleed port open? Very irresponsible post.

[@jawzzy3]

Gotta test if the calliper bleed port fulfills its 2nd function as a blowoff valve, duh!
