hope bleed kit
"nice simple yet smart working kit. the instructions are a little limited, so I'd suggest looking at a you tube hope bleed demo to get more ideas. key tip needed, is to roll your lever diaphragm into place so you dont introduce air to the lever. also, its not always practical to have a 20-30psi constant air source handy. I first used a spare tube and it was just fine. buy it and save mess. be sure to rinse down everything with water after completion since dot 5 fluid attacks most surface finishes in a bad way, but water neutralises it."

Works well.
Pros: High Quality
"Takes a bit of reading the instructions to see where everything goes but once you connect it all up it is really easy to use.
The beauty of the kit is that it creates little or no mess and my brakes where perfect after using it.

Good product
Pros: High Quality, Rugged
"This is a good product, easy to use with clear instructions, the kit could do with some device to enable you to hook the bottle on to your bars to make life a little easier, but that is nothing a piece of string doesn't solve."

Little Bleeder
Pros: clever
Cons: Poor Quality, Low Quality
"Broke on first use, the lever for attaching to a tyre shattered rendering the whole kit unserviceable. Nice idea though, shame the build quality was so poor. Wiggle have provided a replacement so will adjust my review in future if it turns out to be a one off problem!!"

"Overkill for bleeding Hope brakes. All you really need is some brake fluid and a hose for the caliper nipple. Hope brakes are super easy to bleed!"

Easy to use-ish...
Pros: High Quality, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"This is pretty easy to use once you get your head around the instructions. I'm a newbie to bleeding brakes so it took a bit of reading and re-reading to get it all hooked up.
The instructions need to be more detailed and it's a bit pricey for 2 plastic bottles some fluid and a couple of tubes. It does the job well though.

Too many parts!
Pros: High Quality, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"I bought this so I could bleed my X2 brakes, but out of everything in the kit, I only needed one piece of rubber tube, one small adapter and the brake fluid.
It would be much better if they did Model-Specific bleed kits so you didn't have to pay for all the spare parts! This is the only reason I've marked it down on value."

Why the need to car tire!!!
Cons: Expensive, Low Quality
"The only thing that is letting the kit down is the fact that you need a car tire to use it. it is also a bit of a faff to get setup.
Not the easiest bleed kit i have used, but it worked in the end."

Hope Bleed Kit
Pros: Good Fit, High Quality
"La verdad es que con el purgador he conseguido dejar los frenos Hope como nunca antes habia podido.
Además es sencillo de utilzar. Una vez colocado todo en su sitio le metes aire a presion, que empuja el líquido. Dejando el circuito totalmente exento de burbujas. Es de facil uso.
The truth is that I managed to leave the trap Hope brakes as never before had.
Utilzar is simple addition. Once in place everything in place you put him air pressure that pushes the liquid. Leaving the circuit completely free of bubbles. It is easy to use.

"Used to effectively bleed my Hope mono minis. You do need to use a large air reservoir e.g. high volume tyre/tube to pressurise the system."

Didn't understand one word of the instructions as they bore little or no resemblance to the kit. Got proper instructions via google

Great tool to ease bleeding
Pros: Great Value, convenient
Cons: Poor Fit
"Took some of the stress out of bleeding the brakes. Had a small problme with a persistent leak from the hose fitting to the reservoir which meant I lost some oil. Certainly would recommend - it did not take too long to complete the job."

Hope Bleed Kit
Pros: Adjustable, Durable, High Quality, Versatile, made to measure
"As you'd expect with any item from Hope, its well made and finished. The specific caps for each type of brake system make this item a worthwhile item for your workshop tool kit.
Easy to use and bleeds even dry systems to their full potential in minutes. If you own or are buying Hope brakes then buy this bit of kit, you wont be disapointed."

Hope Bleed kit
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, works with multitude of hope resorvoirs
Cons: instructions not perfect
"If the thought of messing with brake fluid and potentially draining your stopping power fills you with dread, then fear not as this kit is so simple to use. Essentially by using 20psi from a spare wheel you pressurize the bleed kit and flush your brake system clean. It is so simple you can see the old dirty fluid being pushed out to be replaced by new fluid.
Better still (after much searching) Wiggle beat all other sellers by a few quid.
So if you've a Hope brake system and need to bleed it, buy this kit from Wiggle, enough said:)"
