neeeeeeeeeek Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Is anyone good with hydraulic brakes? Formula Oro to be precise. I stupidly bought a bleed kit and tried to bleed my back brake, which to be honest worked alright. I just wanted a little less movement. Now it's bloody rubbish! So..... Is anyone good with them? need to pay someone to do a proper job of it. Happy to help if it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total Chaos Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 It took me several attempts to do mine first time.I bought a copy kit 1st time,it never worked.I ended up buying the original avid kit.After a few attempts it worked.I googled it and a video took me through it.Try that 1st. http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=formula%20oro%20bleed&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CC0QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinkbike.com%2Fnews%2FTech-Tuesday--How-to-Bleed-Formula-RX-Disc-Brakes.html&ei=9buCUfPlEsiU0AWikICwBw&usg=AFQjCNH0aAHy1wwAEl7g-XGFBBtUqSflEw&bvm=bv.45960087,d.d2khttp://www.google.co.uk/url? sa=t&rct=j&q=formula%20oro%20bleed&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&ved=0CD0QtwIwAg&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DHekVarmHS2w&ei=9buCUfPlEsiU0AWikICwBw&usg=AFQjCNEpE343DUXf7pJFpLML7g0kbr4b_g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeeeeeeeeek Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 I am wondering if the cheap bleed kit is the problem as followed the video! ---------- Post added 02-05-2013 at 20:22 ---------- Actually, I am more inclined to think it's my half arsed effort! ---------- Post added 02-05-2013 at 20:24 ---------- Shall try harder tomorrow.

Similar, but syringes are used at both ends. ---------- Post added 02-05-2013 at 20:29 ---------- I am wondering if the cheap bleed kit is the problem as followed the video![COLOR="Silver"] ---------- Post added 02-05-2013 at 20:22 ---------- [/color]Actually, I am more inclined to think it's my half arsed effort! ---------- Post added 02-05-2013 at 20:24 ---------- Shall try harder tomorrow. You need the wedges that replace your disk,different sizes for different models.My fake kit was pants.If they are not working properly,then air is still trapped in your cable.

neeeeeeeeeek Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 It's' not rocket science. I just threw my toys out when it didn't just work. Shall try again tomorrow. Hearing other people have done it OK has spurred me on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
