Regular bleeding of the brake system is part of the basic maintenance of every bike with hydraulic disc brakes. Whether you are looking for a bleed kit for Shimano, a SRAM bleed kit, Magura bleed sets, or compatible universal kits: the selection of bleed kits covers all common brake systems. Suitable brake fluids such as Shimano mineral oil, Magura Royal Blood, or DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 for SRAM brakes are also available. This allows you to service your brakes yourself and maintain optimal braking performance – conveniently ordered from home and delivered throughout Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein.

Bleed kits by brake system

For Shimano brakes, bleed kits with mineral oil and matching attachments for common brake models such as Deore, SLX, XT, and XTR are available. SRAM and Avid brakes require kits with DOT-compatible syringes and adapters. Magura bleed kits contain the special Magura Royal Blood mineral oil and the necessary connectors. Hope and Trickstuff brakes also have specific bleed sets that are precisely tailored to their respective conditions. Universal bleed kits from Park Tool, Bleedkit, or Jagwire offer flexible solutions for various brake systems with interchangeable adapters.

Brake fluid & accessories for brake maintenance

In addition to complete bleed kits, you will also find individual brake fluids for refilling: Shimano mineral oil in practical bottles, Magura Royal Blood mineral oil, as well as DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 for SRAM, Avid, and Hope brakes. To supplement, funnels, syringes, hoses, bleed nipples, and replacement seals are available so you can specifically expand your workshop equipment. When buying, always pay attention to compatibility with your brake system – the wrong fluid can destroy seals and render the brake unusable.

The bleed kits are ideal for mountain bikers, road cyclists, gravel bike fans, and e-bike riders who want to maintain their hydraulic brakes themselves. Bicycle workshops and mobile bike mechanics also benefit from the wide selection of specific and universal kits. From beginners looking for their first bleed set to experienced mechanics who prefer high-quality professional tools – the category covers all requirements.

Quality, Safety & Product Selection

When purchasing a bleed kit, compatibility with your own brake system is the most important criterion. Pay attention to the correct brake fluid – confusing mineral oil and DOT fluid can cause serious damage to the seals. High-quality kits include precisely fitting adapters, leak-proof syringes, and clear instructions so that bleeding is carried out cleanly and reliably.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bleed kit and what is it used for?▾

A bleed kit is a tool set used to remove air from hydraulic bicycle brakes. It is needed when the brake's pressure point becomes spongy, the brake lever travels too far, or after servicing the brake system. Regular bleeding maintains full braking power and ensures a safe riding feel.

Which bleed kit fits my brake?▾

Choosing the right bleed kit depends on the manufacturer and model of your brake. Shimano brakes require a kit with mineral oil, SRAM and Avid brakes use DOT fluid, and Magura brakes use a special Magura Royal Blood mineral oil. When buying, pay attention to the compatibility information of each kit to find the right set for your brake system.

How often should I bleed my bicycle brakes?▾

As a rule of thumb, hydraulic brakes should be bled at least once per season or after about 100 operating hours. Bleeding is advisable immediately after intensive use, a crash, noticeable loss of pressure point, or if the brake lever can be pulled all the way to the handlebar. Bleeding is also mandatory after replacing brake lines or calipers.

Can I bleed the brakes myself or do I need a specialist workshop?▾

With a high-quality bleed kit and some manual skill, you can bleed the brakes yourself. Most kits include step-by-step instructions or are supplemented with video tutorials from the manufacturer. If you are unsure or have no experience with hydraulic brakes, a visit to a specialist workshop is recommended to avoid damage or incomplete bleeding.

What brake fluid is needed for Shimano brakes?▾

Shimano brakes only use mineral oil. It is important to use only original Shimano mineral oil or an approved mineral oil, as other fluids can attack the seals and permanently damage the brake. Shimano mineral oil is available in practical bottles that are directly compatible with the bleed kits.

What brake fluid is needed for SRAM brakes?▾

SRAM and Avid brakes require DOT brake fluid, usually DOT 4 or DOT 5.1. The exact specification can be found on the brake lever or in your brake's operating instructions. DOT fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it attracts water. Therefore, it should be stored in a tightly sealed container and used promptly after opening to ensure consistent braking performance.

What is the difference between DOT fluid and mineral oil?▾

DOT fluid and mineral oil differ fundamentally in their chemical composition and must never be interchanged. DOT fluid is hygroscopic, aggressive towards paint and certain sealing materials, and has a higher boiling point. Mineral oil is paint-friendly, non-hygroscopic, and is used by Shimano, Magura, and some other manufacturers. The choice of fluid depends exclusively on the brake manufacturer's specifications.

How can I tell if my brakes need bleeding?▾

Typical signs are a soft or spongy pressure point, a brake lever that can be pulled all the way to the handlebar, uneven braking behaviour, squealing brakes or brakes that are difficult to modulate, and an extended free travel on the lever. Air can also get into the system after transport where the bike was upside down, or after a longer period of disuse, making bleeding necessary.
