I need to bleed my SRAM Rival 1x brakes, but it seems like there are huge amounts of bleed kits 'out there' that range from ~£10-£80. What's the difference? Quality? Brand name? Ease of use? How do I know which kits will fit my system too?

I''m also running a bit low on money this month so recommendations towards the £10 rather than the £80 would be preferred. :P

    These guys. Not £10, but includes all the bits.

    I bought the £70 SRAM professional kit. It has more bits than the one above but I'd say that one includes all you will need for a road bike.

    I contacted the above supplier on Thursday to confirm that kit will fit the Sram Rival stuff but I still haven't heard back. Can anyone on here confirm it?

    Thanks!

    All I can say is that the blue block that fits between the pads looks right and so do the ends on the syringe connecting tubes. Those are the only contact points.

    Presumably you could return it if wrong.
