    Iv just bled my brakes on my own in less than 2 minutes with this little bleed tool. I'm sure it's not a new invention but it was to me so may be to someone else on here. It's just a bit of pipe with a 1 way valve on it, stick it on your nipple (ooer mrs) undo half a turn then pump your brake lever a couple of times, do up, job done. Best £2 ever spent.

    Looks a great bit of kit, assume it could also be used on a pushbike. Had a nightmare last year trying to bleed the Hydraulic brakes.

    Pushbikes have come a long way since I was a kid...
    We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.”

    I used to do up to 200 miles a week as a lad.

    9 miles to school and back then 14 (when we moved), 2+ mile paper round, training and bit of 25 & 50 mile racing.

    ...and none of it on the ******* pavement

    I went to Halfords and they do a tidy kit for around £6, comes complete with a collector bottle, and the non return valve is housed inside of this. Ive done quite a few now with no problems

    The valve is a godsend, certainly makes life easier.
