I just use the standard Shimano kit - comes with all the bits you need including the Shimano mineral oil. Might be cheaper and/or universal options out there but I bought the Shimano version because I knew it would work.
Same as above, stick to the proper kit. It's about $40 from your LBS from memory.
The essential kit is the funnel and hose IMO, and then get a syringe from the chemist.
Heaps of youtube videos to guide you.
It's a relatively easy job to do.
Thats true, but as I know the standard shimano kit (TL-BT03) lacks pads spacer, which is essential.
Did a lot of research on various brake kits and prices, but so far have two options:
1. Shimano original kit (which is around 30$ + 10$ shipping)
2. Epic bleeding kit (http://www.epicbleedsolutions.com/products/bleed...) which costs the same, but has some extra partsand also performs well.
So was wondering if I missed any other kits which might include brake spacer..perhaps not..
I might save on just buying funnel separately + syringe from chemist, but were do I get the right hose? since don't wanna buy it with small bottle of shimano oil for ~15$
It's just standard flexible tube, same stuff is used for fish tanks and fuel lines etc
