I've done a couple successfully with AliExp mushroom patches, weren't right down on the bead though. Partially up the sidewall.Has anyone successfully patched a snakebite on a sidewall?
Got a several ride old Maxxis Assguy that has a tiny hole right near the bead. Hate chucking out new tyres. Can it be patched from the inside or should I save myself the bother and chuck it and move on?
Has the rubber in the plunger hardened? Not sure, but wondering if that belt rejuvenator spray, for fan belts might soften it. But then, could it also contaminate your fluid........Any tips on improving the action on a syringe for brake bleeding? The one from the Shimano kit was always sticky but now requires a ridiculous pressure to move the plunger - I can no longer do it single handedly. There was a big clean up on aisle 4 yesterday and one ruined t-shirt. Lucky to be wearing glasses.
Just go to a chemist and get a new one, it will cost about 1 dollar.Any tips on improving the action on a syringe for brake bleeding?

EZMTB syringes from AliExpress are EZ on the fingers and hands. Seem to work quite well so far too.thank you team.
Gravel version sold out?Is it right that I feel dirty after buying this? I mean, it was the nicest shape but there's just something about it that doesn't sit well with me.

Whatever works.Yup a conveniently routed long black one that goes from the master cylinder...
I just use a bleed cup even for a full bleed, hold lever down, crack bleed nipple on caliper, bleed out, close nipple, repeat, till old fluid is gone....same way I'd do a car/moto etc....

General consensus is to push fluid up so the bubbles flow in the natural directionYup a conveniently routed long black one that goes from the master cylinder...
