Hi!
My brakes need bleeding - I haven't touched them since buying the bike in 2004! It's a Specialized Rockhopper Comp. I've had a look for bleed kits, but not sure which one to get. Found one compatible with Shimano brakes from 2012 onwards - would this fit??
Thanks in advance.

What brakes have you got on the bike?“Life has been unfaithful
And it all promised so so much”
Giant Trance 2 27.5 2016 ¦ Sonder Broken Road 2021¦ Giant Revolt Advanced 2 2019 ¦ Giant Toughtroad SLR 1 2019 ¦ Giant Anthem 3 2015 ¦ Specialized Myka Comp FSR 20090 -

They're the standard ones that come with the bike - Shimano BR-420 according bicylebluebook.com
They have a standard looking bleed nipple on them.
I can get photos if needed.0 -
BR-420 were cable operated v-brakes.
What does it say on the brake lever? You may have to look underneath to see the model number.

Ah my bad. It says BL- M525 on the lever and BR-M525 on the brake itself.0

M525 is Deore from a few years ago.
Epic Bleep Solutions should be able to sort you out with a kit.
THIS VIDEO shows you how to do it using the Shimano funnel and syringe.“Life has been unfaithful
