My rear XT disc brake needs bleeding and i was after some advice for which is the best bleed kit to buy. I have all the usual tools just nothing that you would use to bleed a disc brake and have checked a few videos on line which seem straight forward enough.
Any advice appreciated.

Which XT brake? They have been making XT hydraulic brakes for close to 20 years."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Epic solutions....
Or just a syringe and tube and fill from the calliper like the older ones, still works.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
Epic solutions are excellent and come with simple, step by step instructionsTransition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350
