In order to install the new silver type of compression sleeve that is delivered with the BKM-1.2 kit now, first check if you need to deburr the edges of the sleeve. Then, apply a thin layer of silicon grease to the end of the hose to make it slide into the compression sleeve effortlessly. Kind of a Crisco situation here since the silver sleeve is a very tight fit and without grease the hose appears to be impossible to insert. Make sure you clean all excess grease afterwards in order to not contaminate your brake fluid later on.

Yeah and they talk about discs for riding in bad weather, but my pads/rotors are always getting contaminated with oil or salt from the road and squealing louder than a truck horn. I have to pop in earplugs, get accidental road rage from drivers who think I honked at them, and clean them again when I get home. Last year I sanded my pads and cleaned the rotors at least a dozen times. People also talk about rim wear from v-brakes, but you probably need a new hub anyway by that point, and maybe have some damage/dents to the rims, spokes and need new rim tape... so just get a new wheel. My most-used rim brake wheels last a long time anyway. They work great in all weather. I don't know what the fuss is about wet and mud. I think if I could choose rim brakes on my newer, favorite bike, it would still be my favorite bike. It's been easy to ride and maintain except for the damn brakes.

couple years ago I have it a shot and said never again it was a mess and result was subpar, for whatever reason today i though it would be different big mistake. There's something about brake bleeding, don't know what it is even with the Right tools it can be s disaster, I've serviced my entire bike air forks included but damn the freaking brakes, and my local shoo is not even expensive. NEVER AGAIN.

This procedure is extremely over complicated. I feel like with all these steps there are so many things that can go wrong for new brake bleeders such as yourself. There are much simpler methods which still work quite well such as gravity bleeds.

So I just picked up a bleed kit at my local shop, but It didnt come with a syringe or tube thingy. Could I (in theory) just put the funnel with the mineral oil into the levers and squeeze them?

You will never get all the air out, especially for the rear brake, where the hose is longer. But truth be told, the brakes will probably still work acceptable, if you manage to make the lever feel firm when you squeeze. Just take care on the first ride, start slow until you're sure you can rely on the brakes.

You guys are absolutely AMAZING, THE BEST. I LOVE YOU. Im kinda newbie and dumb about bikes and such. Especially whole brake system was kinda hard to understand for me, but i wanted to fix myself. I was reading some articles etc, few videos and it didnt help me at all.But every each one of your videos is so well made, nicely and easy explained.. Only thank to your videos, i got it all now. I fixed everything i needed. Simple, easy and compared to some services very cheap. Thanks so much. Amazing job, good luck fellas.

This right there is why you should take the bike to a local bike shop. Yes, sir.

This is just a bike, no a car with ABS systems (even there the brake fluid can be changed at home)

Honestly while this is a great video, it's over complicated. I could see doing this if you can't get the normal version to work. Lookup the shorter shimano bleed videos, one of Santa Cruz's race mechanics has a famous one. It's way easier than this and almost always works. But for a total technical process, park went through literally everything.

What if using the syringe intead of the plastic bag to make the oil flow up and down until no more bubbles exit the system?

That is usually done mostly.

Because you need to release the pressure inside the circuit and you do it when you open it to the atmosphere, you can only do that with an open system like the plastic bag, if you use the syringe the circuit continues closed and the oil will not go out
