Another one that needs to be pointed in the direction of the comma and taught how to use punctuation, the use of a spell checker or dictionary wouldn't go amiss either.

By the way the comma (which looks like this , ) is next to the full stop key on your keyboard.

HTH.

BTW -

you should always use two spaces after the comma too, like this.

My life has been significantly improved since I bought a Mityvac vacuum pump... When I first fitted my braided lines it took forever to get them to work, and even longer to get them to work well. Now it takes no time at all, and is far less frustrating too. Not exactly cheap, but I wouldn't be without mine.

I also bought a Mityvac to do my NSR. It took sooo much less time. Like northwind said, it aint cheap, but it has plenty of other uses. Still haven't used it as a beer bong yet, maybe I should clean out that old brake fluid first...

I also have a Mityvac and it is brill! Only issue I have is sometimes the cap comes of the bleeder valve when I'm turning the valve on or off but that's because I'm cack-handed I guess. You'll bleed your brakes much more regularly with a Mityvac as its so easy to do and that has to be safer.

I think for me the big difference is that I don't put off brake work any more. On saturday I noticed one of my front calipers was binding a wee bit, so instead of mucking about I just disconnected it, stripped and cleaned it, and refitted it. I'd have put that off forever if I was bleedig by hand.

I think it also depends on the bike. When I stuck braided hoses onto the SV, I didn't need (or have) the Mityvac and everything worked fine (I think I used a pop bottle to create the vacuum

) The NSR, however, would have been a much more difficult task without it.

I am currently trying to get a good brake on my bike and its driving me up the wall!!

Whats the idea of using a bottle to create a vacuum?

Any other tips greatly appreciated!

cheers Darryl

I connectd the hose to the bleed nipple, and used the spout from an old Scottoiler bottle to connect the hose with the bottle. Squeeze out the air in the bottle, screw the cap down, open the bleed nipple and voila

Might need more than one bottle though as it soon deforms and is reluctant to regain it's shape i.e. very little vacuum. Smaller (500ml) bottles work best, more rigid

The Mityvac also has uses elsewhere on the bike, such as opening the fuel tap while the hoses are disconnected.
