Bleeding is one of the most important steps in topping off the performance of any hydraulic brake system. Any air inside a
hydraulic brake system degrades the performance of the brake. The goal of bleeding is to remove the air that's trapped in
the hoses, caliper or lever. When you bleed Juicy brakes you remove more air than any other brake's bleeding procedure
does. That's one of the reasons why Juicy brakes are the most powerful and precise hydraulic brakes on the market.
Note: Juicy brakes come with hoses
attached and bled. If you don't need
to change the hose length, then
you should not need to bleed
the system again.
To properly perform a Juicy bleed,
you will need a Juicy Bleed Kit
which contains:
Avid Hi-Performance
DOT Fluid

• Avid highly recommends the use of rubber gloves when handling DOT fluids.
• DOT FLUIDS WILL DAMAGE PAINTED SURFACES! DO NOT allow any brake fluid to come in contact with painted
surfaces. If DOT fluid gets on the paint or pad printing on the brakes, clean it immediately with isopropyl alcohol.
REMOVAL OF PAINT AND/OR PRINTING BY DOT FLUID IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY!
• Be careful to keep brakes pads and rotors free of DOT fluid.
• For best results, only use Avid Hi Performance DOT Fluid! If Avid fluid is not available, only use DOT 4 or 5.1!

Since you can't lengthen the hose after you have cut it, take a moment and
re-check the routing of the hoses. Be sure to account for suspension movement
and check that the bars turn freely by turning the bars all the way from side to
side. Make sure the hoses are properly secured as well.
