I've got an Avid bleed kit,and am quite happy with my brakes and my ability to bleed them,but the little o-rings that form the seal where the tubing goes into the caliper and lever,have perished.Does anyone know what size they are and where I can get some?They'd fallen apart before I could measure them properly.
Ta,Ian

My LBS (The Bike Chain) has a handy box of various teeny tiny Avid brake bits which would probably contain these O-rings. Try your (or indeed my) LBS.

Can you explain a little better exactly which o-rings you mean? Do you mean the o-rings that sit inside the bleed ports? You mentioned tubing, are you referring to the bleed kit there or the hydraulic brake hose?

The brass fittings that are pushed onto the end of the tubing which connects to the syringe,and screw into the ports on the lever and caliper.
