 Funny how a SRAM tech don't use the SRAM pit stop DOT 5.1 oil... he knows how bubbly this oil is, try something else. Good video though!

 $40 is not bad at all. Shimano's high end bleed kit retails for like $150.

 Nice video. First time will take time, but with some routine it takes 3 minutes and it's very easy.

 Does anyone know if the procedure is any different for Code?

flag dobby (Apr 27, 2010 at 10:02)
 Nope! Its the exact same method with any Avid brake. Only varies if your brake has Pad Contact adjustment.
