You know it’s worth doing for the cost savings, convenience, satisfaction and cool points. Now you’re tossing up between this kit and our \u003ca title=\"Basic Bleed kit for Shimano Brakes\" href=\"https:\/\/outspokencycles.co.nz\/collections\/all\/products\/shimano-bleed-kit-basic\"\u003ebasic bleed kit\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy this kit is rad\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;\"\u003eThe key differences between this kit and our simple kit are a larger tall\/narrow syringe (60mL) and lever funnel (60mL). This kit significantly reduces the amount of time taken to bleed your brakes and the mess that you’ll create.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;\"\u003eOur simple bleed kit, and all competitor kits, use small (20-30mL) syringes and funnels. Your brakes contain 40-50mL of fluid. If you’re doing a full bleed, you’ll need to stop halfway through the bleed to refill the syringe and empty the funnel. That's easy enough to do, but you will burn 3-10 minutes with this faff. Connecting and disconnecting your bleed kit is also the single largest source of mess - doing this once instead of twice reduces the mess (\u0026amp; frustration) a bunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;\"\u003eAdditionally, other lever funnels are short and squat, which means bleeds need to be done with a levelled lever so fluid doesn’t spill out the side of the cup. After the bleed, you’ll then need to rotate your lever back to its original position. This tall \u0026amp; narrow lever funnel doesn’t need to change position for a bleed and you’ll have to accidentally knock it a lot harder to spill any fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther features of this kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBrass thread\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brass thread won’t wear (or break) like plastic funnel threads are prone to. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSecureLink adapter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe SecureLink adapter (that’s what we call it) does the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin: 1.2em 0px; padding-left: 2em;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0.5em 0px;\"\u003eGuides the hose onto the bleed nipple and reduces the effort required to get it on there\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0.5em 0px;\"\u003eMakes the connection significantly more secure which reduces the chance of accidentally pulling the tube off the caliper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0.5em 0px;\"\u003eEliminates connecting the hose on an angle which can introduce air when pulling the syringe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"157\" height=\"280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k-RcGRf42Hw?si=MoTbM3X-tL1X03mY\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSecurelink in action\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe choices you have are:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eRoad adapter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn adapter to adapt the bleed funnel to the larger diameter bleed fitting of Shimano drop bar brakes - think road\/gravel - Shimano 105, Ultegra, GRX and so on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e7mm spanner\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRequired to open the Shimano bleed port to get fluid flowing.
