Shimano Brake Bleed Kit for All Shimano Brakes with 100ml Mineral Oil, Bleed Block/Rotor Correction Tool, Four Allen Wrenches, and 7mm Wrench

I'd suggest getting some gloves, and have some paper towels around for when you spill mineral oil. Comes with plenty of oil for several bleeds. If it's your first time bleeding - it isn't difficult, just take your time.Plastic threads on the reservoir cup feel like they can sheer off pretty easily, and that cup is like 1/3 the reason for buying the kit - so use care.

Works with shimano MTB brakesWas able to flush my shimano mtb brakes 3 times before the syringes stopped functioning.Provided syringes and tubing are insanely low grade and will only last you one season even with cleaning out the syringes.Park tools set is well worth the money, has lasted 4 times as long as this did.Syringes deteriorated at rubber portions and eventually got stuck into place. Rubber from deterioration floats in syringe and you can inject those pieces into your brakes causing issues with braking.

Brakes need to be bled to keep the performance up, and this kit is just what you need for Shimano brakes. It has everything you need to bleed your brakes yourself a couple of times all for less than one trip trip to the LBS. I like to do what maintenance I can to not only save money, but if my bike is in the shop for a day or two I can't ride it. I can now bleed my brakes faster than just driving to the shop and back.

Perhaps my "bike from Hell" affects incoming components and shop aids. So, I do not mean this review to point at American Bleed Solutions as negatively at it may be read. My sample of this bleed kit seems to have fallen victim to unhappy manufacturing fortune.First, the Shimano bleed cup was not properly threaded. It did not fit properly on either of my bike's (out of the box) new XT brakes. Eventually, I had to slightly cross-thread the cup to work.Second, the included syringe initially did not work. The plunger would not push down anywhere close to the bottom of the syringe. This meant that the few-milliliter-sized air bubble there, from initially trying to load it, could not be displaced. I had to remove the plunger to remove the oil.I fixed the syringe by submerging in very hot water for a minute or so. Working the plunger, while the plastic was hot, evened out the plunger's action inside the syringe. Yay.With regard to the rest of the bleed kit, the small bottle of mineral oil has a drop style tip on it. This is good for topping the bleed reservoir at the end of the process. But you have to remove the tip to have any hope of replacing unused brake oil after the bleeding process is over.And why no clamp to hold the disconnected syringe tube to Shimano's bleed nipple, during the gravity portion of the bleeding process? Shimano's own kit comes with one. The nipple is where most of the in-use leaks occur. The provided syringe tubing is not quite tight enough (and becomes too slippery with oil) the stay reliably in place, if temporarily left unattended.The pair of unpowdered latex gloves in the kit were far too small to fit my hands, which are not exceptionally big. And in the same vein of missed opportunity, a tiny funnel to use to recover unused oil back into the American Bleed Solutions bottle would have been welcome.But the saving grace (to all this negativity) is the happenstance that the red plastic syringe threader (on the syringe tube) perfectly fits the Schrader side of my bike pump. This means that I can conveniently air dry the tubing after washing it (and all the other paraphernalia). Now that's happiness.

Super easy to use kit. Included everything to complete a brake bleed. The kit also included easy to follow instructions for various applications depending on your setup.

Value for the money this kit was great. Basic kits at my LBS were much more expensive (at least $50+). As a bonus, this kit even came with several Allen keys, a 7mm nipple wrench, and fluid. Not to mention, you don’t have to buy the adapter separate!The whole process makes a bit of a mess. Make sure to perform the brake bleed in an easy to clean surface.

Good kit. Had everything I needed to flush the breaks on my mountain bike. came with enough oil for quite a few more jobs. After watching a few YouTube videos, I had no problem doing it on my own for the first time.

This kit put more air in my brake lines than I wanted. The issue is this kits syringe is low quality. No matter what I did to remove air from the syringe the tube would slip off the nipple inducing air into the caliper. No matter how I tried to inject the oil the syringe resisted movement or moved way to much with the same amout of pressure. Next issue is the large mouth bottle of fluid makes a mess when pouring into the bleed cup no matter how you slowly and carefully pour it. After spending more time than I expected and making the brakes worse I'll try another kit or have my local shop unFuk this mess. The extra allen wrench that are included are nice.
