Traildoc Bleed Kit: Air out, riding pleasure in.

Deckel abschrauben...

Air in the brakes can really spoil the tour. The solution weighs just 40 grams: the Traildoc Bleed Kit. Screwed onto the brake lever, the problem is solved in just under two minutes. The kit works with the most common brakes, with mineral oil or DOT fluid and is completely leak-proof for storage.

Most of the time, the brakes do what they are designed to do. But sometimes the pressure point wanders, is busy pre-pumping instead of precise braking or the pressure point disappears completely. This is not only annoying, but also dangerous. Bleeding is the order of the day, in the bike store or at home. However, if you are on multi-day tours or in remote areas, this option is no longer available.

The Bleed Kit from Traildoc offers immediate help. As brake problems usually occur at the top of the lift, the problem can be solved in less than two minutes. The bleed screw on the brake is removed, the kit is fitted, opened and the brake lever is moved until no more air bubbles rise. The brake is functional again. The Bleed Kit is small, weighs just 40 grams and fits practically anywhere, whether in a rucksack or in the smuggling compartment of modern frames.

Speaking of backpacks: all openings are 100 percent sealed to prevent the brake fluid from leaking and contaminating the backpack and its contents. The entire kit is made of robust aluminum and can be filled with either DOT brake fluid or mineral oil. This makes it compatible with the most common Shimano and Sram brakes.

The kit costs CHF 35 and is available from specialist dealers or online.
