Shimano brake bleed with a sex toy :) hack

[mooby77]

Do you have air at the lever end whilst doing a bleed , then get yourself a SexySecret bullet vibrator and vibrate those pesky air bubbles away !


Genius , just clean it before giving it back to the other half

Good idea but I’ve been using another tool more easily accessible. An electric toothbrush. I’m sure your tool works wonders too.

I keep the electric toothbrush in the same tool drawer as the bleed-kit stuff.

If I do a full bleed I touch the calliper and exposed hoses also. A rotation of the bike and also the lever helps.

C’mon? Are you guys reading between the lines? that’s terrible.

I've just had a go at trying that sex toy hack and failed because the bloody batteries are flat

If you spent a bit more time riding your missus instead of the bike you wouldn't have had this issue....

For all the good that will do, you might as well stick it up your arse.

Another embarrassing trip to a&e

I just give it a few flicks with my finger. Works when bleeding the brakes too.

Is that “tool” made by Snap-On?!!

I saw a similar thing on tiktoktagram, where a guy used a massage gun on the brake line to eke out micro bubbles. I thought it was total bs but curiosity got the better of me and I have a massage gun already so I gave it a try.

I did my normal full gravity bleed on my XT front brake, then went back to perform a lever bleed.

After a few minutes there were no more bubbles coming through and the lever felt decent, but I then used the message gun to see if it would pull any more out.

Working from the caliper up, l spent a few minutes vibrating the line, gave the lever a flick and lo and behold LOADS of bubbles came through.

I Did this a few times and the lever has nerve felt so good! A little too good infact.

So it seems it may have some merit, but It's a shame you can only do it on the front line though.

never a good idea to use vibration at the back end

Some women consider an electric toothbrush a sex toy too. Jus sayin …
