Hi,
I've got to bleed my tektro auriga brakes. I've got the bleed kit but there's no block for the pads. Can I just get on without the block and is there a work around?
Regards
Rob
Not familiar with these particular brakes, but I've bleed others whilst on the bike (therefore using the disc as the spacer...)
You obviously have to be very careful not to spill fluid around the place, but if you're not clumsy...
Just make one. An old credit card or similar cut into rectangles and wrapped in tape is what I used, the benefit of this method is that you can add bits until you have the right thickness.
Thanks guys.

Cut up health lottery playcards, the red or blue plastic ones you see in supermarkets on your way out. Never try leaving the pads in, the bleed nipple is not leak/drip free.
