I'm trying to get my hands on one of these. Purchased the pro bleed kit and now found that one of my bikes has the different bleed system. Was nearly tipping over the bleed edge last night trying to figure out what was going on. £38 on a pro kit now have to shell out another £20 for the adaptor but can't seem to find anywhere on line that has one.
[url= https://total-sport.co.uk/sram-tool-bleeding-edge-for-use-with-avid-pro-bleed-kit-s4-caliper-guide-ultimate.html ]Here[/url] lists it as in stock.. I'd ring and ask though - Raleigh (distributor) are listing it as out of stock until 8th May.
I was in the same boat. Ordered the bleed kit from Tredz. Says that the bleeding edge tool is included in the description.
At least I hope that's right anyway.
Ordered 2017 pro bled kit as needed same thing plus the new style screw on olives as well fir shortening hoses. If you need I can send mine as long as you pay postage and cost of tool which will be refunded. Email colinblack1976 at Gmail dot com please a fee of the German sites have the edge tool available
Does it look like the same kit I've ordered that Colin?
No bud this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01EKOE2IW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
new style barbs and olives and the all important edge tool
Nadgers 🙁
Edit* Actually.. description is the same, I think the Tredz one is just an old photo?
Teach me to rush ordering things...
Would have probably been here quicker too!
Like I say can get bleed tool to you for Thursday if you would like to borrow it.
Thanks for the kind offer, maybe to OP could take you up on it?
I've got a full kit on the way, so I'll see what turns up in it.
What's the bleeding edge tool for?
Need it to bleed the latest version of sram brake calipers and also the new reverb remote thays coming out
On the plus side it does make bleeding the new style Guides a doddle
OK ta just checking cos I need to bleed my Guide brakes (RS I think - came on a CF Capra from around 18months ago) and I was assuming I could use the regular Avid bleed kit. Am I correct? 🙂
Yeah would say so if there that old bleed screw should be directly oposite of the banjo bolt.
you can bleed them just fine without it, takes all of about 20 seconds.
explain please
remove pads
pop in a shimano bleed block
manipulate the bike so the calipers bleed port is the highest point or remove if front or not internal.
pop a syringe into the lever bleed port
remove the rubber bung in the bleeding edge port
use a 4mm allen key to open the port
push through brake fluid
close bleeding edge port with 4mm allen key
remove syringe from lever
clean up the caliper
refit pads and hey presto.
prep time may be a bit longer than 20 seconds but the actual bleed is 20 seconds if that.
And a pool of fluid on the floor. Good tip though if yer stuck.
Thanks [b]b45her[/b] will give that a go until I can source an adapter. Cheers
Thanks for the offer [b]coblck[/b] but I'll pass this time. Cheers
B45her, thanks for the hack. You saved my weekend
