Someone else has probably already commented on this but as a bike mechanic I've done many many bleeds and a little tip is when doing a lever bleed it also helps to tilt the lever both up and down 45 degrees while pumping it as bubbles will sometimes hide along the edges of the master cylinder. PS...you guys rock!! Cheers!!

The lever wasn’t full with oil. The mineral oil entered the lever replacing air with oil. The replaced air exits as bubbles.

i lifted up my front wheel, put it on a chair, for getting out the bubbles from rear brake line. also good tip. the air will go up better then. i just leave it for now a bit and sleep, tomorrow i am sure there is no air in it anymore.. flicking with finger can also help a bit. was also good tip.

Thank you so much for your lever bleed video. I own a Sur Ron X. It has 4 piston calipers(unknown brand) without bleed nipples. And with all the videos referring to Sur Rons, there are none explaining bleeding the brakes. This video helped. Thank you.
@evox7862 жыл бұрын
One question/comment - why squeeze and hold the lever when flicking the line for air bubbles? When the lever is depressed, any air bubble in the line will shrink much smaller (almost disappear) and will be much less likely to dislodge and rise to the top. I would recommend tapping the line without holding the lever so the air bubbles are big enough to work their way out.

@paolocapozzi9273 жыл бұрын
The last step of the SRAM bleeing procedure is only dealing with the lever. You have the syringe attached to the lever and you pull and push on the plunger to remove the last bit of air. In the Shimano bleed, the procedure Syd did is also done at the very end of the bleeding procedure in order to remove the last air bubbles. So yes, I assume that you can do the same with SRAM brakes. However you still need to degas the DOT oil beforehand. Then just follow the lever bleed part of the whole procedure. I've never done it myself so I'm not sure what the result will be ;)

Hi and thanks for that video. I have a question. Isn't the “missing” oil in the brake lever reservoir attribute to the fact that pistons are in “operational” position? So, filling up this reservoir should result into too much oil in the system, right? I prefer a slightly longer version of the quick bleed that includes pushing the pistons back and using a bleed block before starting the process you described. 🤙
@IBCMTB3 жыл бұрын
Tip! If you're just doing a lever bleed, maybe best to pull pads and put a bleed block in so you don't overbleed the system. The last lever bleed I did was with worn pads & wheel in, meaning the pistons were already extended a bit. When I later replaced the pads & needed to push the pistons back in, it actually over-pressurized the system & I had fluid blow out the relief valve of the lever (as it had nowhere else to go). In hindsight, an alternative solution to this would be connecting the funnel before pushing the pistons back in, giving the excess fluid a place to go.
@Sandriell3 жыл бұрын
If you put a bleed block in then you are fully compressing the pistons making the total volume smaller, then once you put the wheel back in and the pistons readjust to the much thinner rotor you are increasing the volume and will be back to the same problem of not enough oil to fill the volume. You actually solved your own issue in the second part of your statement though. When you change to brand new pads, screw in the cup with oil, remove the old pads, compress the pistons, install the new pads, install your wheel, then finish the lever bleed.
@Elhabash3 жыл бұрын
@@Sandriell The brakes and reservoir volume are designed to be filled with the bleed blocks in place and can accommodate worn pads. If you overfill the brakes, on the other hand, you might not be able to change brake pads on the trail! That might not be a problem on a short ride, but if you spend a day in the mountains it is a no-go.
@leepowelldev3 жыл бұрын
Completely agree with this - this video basically shows how to overfill the system, which is why the lever feel better afterwards. The air coming out is a result of the pistons advancing and the additional space being taken up by fluid in the master cylinder. IME if you're getting to the point of the lever being back at the bars then either the pistons are sticky and not advancing correctly, or you have wear on your pads or rotor.

Yup you did the right thing. It's like on a car when you top up the brake fluid when the brake pads and rotor wears down, creating more travel in the system. But when you push the calipers back you take fluid out of the system so it doesn't over flow.

Worth pointing out that mineral oil (shimano brakes) and brake fluid (glycol-ether) (some other brakes) are not the same stuff at all. Mineral oil is pretty harmless. The gylcol stuff both eats paint (fairly slowly) and is harmful to aquatic life (and people). So you can be a whole less paranoid about spillages with the shimano mineral oil system. It's no worse than spilling any other oil in small quantities. And you don't need a specific brake-fluid cleaner, anything that cleans oils will do.
@roberttill3787 Жыл бұрын
A back brake will not go spongy quicker than a front one because its longer. The pipe is a constant size, and the levers and calipers are identical. If all the air is bled out you are moving exactly the same amount of fluid in each brake, it does not matter how long the pipe is. If the front pipe was a metre long and the lever moved 5 cc, it would travel a metre. If the back pipe was 1.5 metre long and your lever moved 5 cc, it would still be 5 cc at the rear caliper, the distance does not change the quantity.
