Note: If you have hydraulic brakes outside of this list and they have two threaded bleed ports—one at the lever and one at the caliper—the method shown in our Tektro tutorial video should work for your brakes as well. If you’re unsure about your specific model, feel free to send us a few photos and we’ll be happy to help!

And if you’re in the Spokane, WA area, please reach out—we may be able to create a tutorial video for your brake model.
