Borgen bleed kit for Shimano hydraulic disc brakes I bike brakes service kit I bleeding kit with step-by-step instructions for the perfect bleeding of the brake

Absolutely brilliant after worrying about buying the correct product to bleed my bike brakes, i opted for this as it seems to be the complete kit, i couldn't be happier, it all came in a nice plastic tub to keep it stored away, there were various language instructions and all very clear and detailed. the quality of the kit was also great too.

Does the job well enough. The case is a nice feature but the syringe tends to stick which is annoying!

My local bike shop was booked up until middle of December, so bought this kit to sort out my spongy front disc brake. Kit contains everything required apart from allen keys and a pair of pliers. Instrcutions were easy to follow and my brake was back to full efficiency in about half an hour. Good value for money as well because you get the tools for future use and enough mineral oil to do at least another couple of brake bleeds.

After being rested for a few months i found my rear brake was non existant and suffering from a limp brake lever, the front brake wasn't much better. As I am novice I replaced the pads which made no difference, after a bit of googling I decided they needed bleeding. I was weary about this task as the "how to" guides I watched made it look complex and also people I spoke to made it sound like a dark art.I searched a few kits and brought this based on cost and also as it looked like it had everything needed in one kit. And I'm pleased that I did, the instructions were clear and easy to follow, I undertook this task without any issues, on my own and without googling anything! Plus I saved a few quid by not buying Shimano :)Would definitely recommend this to someone who hasn't done it before to buy with confidence

It did the trick. The syringe was a little stiff to press but otherwise OK. Only screw the funnel into the brake lever reservoir lightly. It won't fall out and it's only just to keep it in place. Check it's not cross threaded too. I think a lot of people could be having issues by over tightening the funnel and snapping it off. I felt it would be easy to do due to the tiny thread. If you have some old rags or better still some cardboard to place underneath then that can help to prevent staining or contaminating the ground/floor below.We used this on a Carerra Kraken and it worked a treat. A bit messy and some fiddling about but we got there. I was a mechanic years ago and I must say that this is more palaver than bleeding a cars brakes, but that's just the method and not the kit itself. This is by no means a kit for the workshop to be used regularly but if you have a couple of bikes with hydraulic brakes then this will be useful, even if you only use it once or twice.There are so many bleeding kits to choose from, some cheaper, some dearer, some without so many parts and some that are much more comprehensive. This one is a good choice and reasonable in price compared to some others.

Contents is good value for money with everything you need for the job. Needs care to avoid leaking around tube fitted on bleed nipple.

First time bleeding hydraulic brakes and it worked really well with this set. I installed a hydraulic Tiagra group set on my touring bike, replacing a mechanical SRAM group set . At first, I was a little apprehensive. However, with a few YouTube videos for help, the kit is very intuitive. Everything fits together nicely and the set comes with a metal extender/adapter for road bike shifters. All things hydraulic are a little smaller, so hand tight only does the trick. 100 mL of oil is more than enough to bleed 2-3 sets of brakes if not more. Only additional things I needed were a 8mm spanner for the road shifter. I could have also done with the little yellow block for hammering inserts into the brake hoses but pliers, towel and careful hammering worked fine.

Very good quality kit, includes all the bits you need to do a full bleed. The oil included will be enough for 4 brakes. Instructions included but there are plenty of videos on YT as well.
