Is there an alternative to the All Balls kit which is pretty poor quality.

This is how I hung the system,the air escaped almost at once i didn't even use the one way bleeder once I'd hung it.

I'm back from skiing now so time for an update. Before I went I tried lifting the front of the bike and bleeding having tried lifting the rear which I never thought would work as there's no logic to it. As it was I left my bike for a week with the front lifted with an obvious air bubble in the link pipe,that was still there when I got back FFS. In summary I have tried every method possible together with new parts,but this mornng I took the whole system off and bled it as described in the video by lineaway. I think the angle of the parts is vital. Bit of a ball ache getting it out in one piece but this method as shown in the vid worked first time,I'd have taken the ****ing engine out if I'd know it would work. Thanks to all that have given advice.

What a ridiculous thing to say.

I have done this as it's easy enough,which part of the system am I leaving open though.

Cheers

😀 you're more optimistic than me I'm done.

Is there another MC manufacturer as I can't just keep buying them until one works if that's the cause.

The sum total of brake pressure today is a slight movement of 1 piston and that's if I use a plunger on the MC piston.

Mine has AJP brakes. I'd still like somebody to suggest the most reliable modern manufacturer though,somebody must have a decent model.

I assume you're the resident forum troll,every forum has one. You're sorrt are best ignored I think.

I couldn't resist another go before I go away. Thanks to those that tried to help but I still have no brake pressure despite trying the lifting of the bike method,all the parts are fine. On the plus side I resisited the temptation to smash it with a hammer.

Ok thanks I'm leaving it until I come back from skiing or I may smash it with a hammer.

A quick search of this forum suggest otherwise,just saying 🤣

It's a new MC.

We must have done that a thousand times.

Thanks I will inevitably give this a go tomorrow,how on earth is this necessary though.

Try reading my post properly HTH.

Currently have a 4Rt which I've lost all confidence in brake wise so I'm looking for another brand. I don't want to be fettling all the time but I've no idea what would be a good choice. Budget isn't an issue and I'm excluding GasGas as they are frankly rubbish quality.

Sorry to start off here with a negative thread but I am having a complete mare with the rear brake on my 4RT. It's been a little problematic but no big issues until 2nd last time out when I did a big jump which split the res to MC pipe,fixed that and but it then refused to bleed even though we tried new MC parts. I replaced the MC with new and it bled easily enough,took it out again and the brake started binding as I guess in my desperation to get a brake I over adjusted it.Backed it off and pushed the pads back and no brake pressure no matter what we did. I have bled the normal way,reverse bled,used a vacum bleeder and some of the finest trials brains have given advice it just won't bleed. I have a new MC,tried a new hydraulic pipe and the caliper is 100 per cent not leaking.Every individual part works fine but I have no brake pressure at all. This is the most frustrating thing I've ever come across in 40 years of bike ownership and I used to race 2 stokes! Any help much appreciated as I'm at the point of breaking it for parts.
