Anybody know where I can get one at short notice?
Would really like it for the weekend but can't find any in stock.
Either the tool itself, or the newer standard brake bleed kit that includes it, if I have to.
All the online shops I've tried seem to be pre-order or delivery after the weekend.

Thanks

Looks pretty cool that, but any particular reason why you want one? I just have the standard kit.. where are you based?

You need it for the S4 calipers found on newer Guides and the older Guide Ultimates. It clips into the caliper and lets you open and close the internal bleed port without removing the adapter (and leaking fluid / letting in air).

Thanks guys, ordered!

Yeah funk weasel, its a complete ball ache! Been using an Epic kit for my old Avids & it's been great.
Switched to Hopes for new build & not getting on with them.
Bought the Ultimates virtually new but the rear hose is just a tad too short, hence I need to bleed it.

Thanks Vincienup, work in Switzerland, but home is Devon, so no good. Tried local shops in France, Germany & Swiss this week & nobody was even aware of it!
