Hi George,

Good xmas and new year I trust? Excellent. I bleed my brakes normally using 'head office' to pump the pedal whilst I get jiggy with the nipples (ooo-eeer!). What I then do, and only on very warm and dry summer days, is to leave the lid off the master cylinder reservoir overnight and leave the brake pedal wedged down with a bit of wood. This allows any bubbles to rise and escape naturally. I'm always nervous of using eazi-bleed type gear, using air pressure to purge air bubbles seems weird.

You're spot on about silicon DOT 5. Once fitted, your fluid is effectively maintenance free for life and fade becomes a distant memory...

Regards,

Big Rich.
