Does anyone know where I can get a bleed kit for my QUAD hydraulic disc brakes?
Answers:
I think that Halfords sell them, have you tried there?
Disc brakes is disc brakes;try Halfords.
Not all systems are the same.
If you are re-filling with brake fluid make sure you have the correct one though. It's either DOT or Mineral.
Shouldn't really need one. QUAD are a pretty cheap brand, and are pretyt much OEM only, so parts backup is minimal. I *think* they're imported by Raleigh P+A, so might be worth giving them ago?
To bleed an open system (which I _think_ the Quads are), in general, you want to attach a hose to the bleed nipple on the caliper, and feed that into some sort of container. You'll want the pads removed, and something wedged in to stop the pistons popping out. Then open the cap at the lever and pour fluid in. Cycle the lever until you've forced all the new oil through (bubbles will stop coming out). You'll want to have the bleed nipple open when pulling the lever, but closed when releasing it. Do everything back up again. This might be wrong for your brakes, and you NEED to make sure you use the correct fluid (DOT4/5.1 or Mineral) - using the wrong one will stop the brakes working, as you dissolve seals etc.
All bleeding the system will do is remove air from it, to make the lever feel more solid. I'd imagine that on a brake of that quality, it's never going to get fantastic.
