Did my first successful brake bleed of Hope Mono M4 rear brake yesterday. Basically after reading through the overly complicated Bike Maintenance mag (which would have you buying every tool known to man) and the shite instructions on the Hope Brake bleeding kit, which requires attaching to a car tyre with 20-25 psi (pretty hard to park on wazzas balcony) - I ignored the lot, used an empty water bottle instead of a syringe and levelled the top brake lever horizontally by eye - All guided by these two old Welsh fellas armed with vidoeo cam (see link below), who managed to do it in t Kitchen - Cheers innit! Balcony however does have some small alien-type blood holes from brake fluid spillage. Keep it Layman's people. Hutch
