Basically trying to sort my front brake earlier (Has been bothering me for weeks) I managed to get air in the lines :roll:

So now I need to bleed it, is it worth buying the genuine kit for £35 or is the £10 ebay one just the same? Ill post the two links

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Epic-Avid-Jui ... 828wt_1396

These are just the 1st two links that popped up for me. Anyone with experience of either?

    I bought a used genuine kit, works perfectly for me, I have read posts where some are very happy with 'copy kits' others have had problems with the tube coming off the syringe (all copies presumably not being equal!)
