Jason222 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Stick it in a tub of water(or oil), undo the bleed bolts, and squeeze the brake like no tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam-Griffin Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 You bled you're brake at 20 past 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Two things, firstly pump the fluid through the brake quickly, this will help entrain any air in the system into the oil and bring it out, if you push really slowly with the syringe you'll never move the air. Also make sure you're bleeding the brake from its lowest point to its highest. This allows the boyant air to leave the system, otherwise it will stay in the high points of the system...

Daniel C Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 that is the same problem as what i had.what you need to do is turn the tpa all the way off, pump it through a few times untill there is no air coming out then do the bleed bolts back up making sure you do the clear pipe first and the suringe end last. then turn the tpa on untill it locks were you want it.if that fails to work, then undo the bleed bolts, turn the tpa off all the way and submirge the whole brake in a bucket of water or oil and keep pumping the lever for a few minutes then with the brake still submirged in the water or oil do the bleed bolts back up and then turn the tpa on untill it locks were you want it(brake has to be on the bike to do this) if both of these different ways fail to work then you must either be doing something wrong or you have a problem with you seals or something.chapy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 What the f**k. Change your avatar. It's considered kinda rude to take someone elses off this forum and use it as your own, it's also damn confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Don't submerge it in a bucket of oil.I've never had a problem bleeding/using an HS33 with mineral oil, using a home-made basic bleed kit. Are you sure you're doing everything properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
