Although sounding like a mountain bike accessory for inclusion in a first aid kit for downhillers, Epic are a Stoke on Trent company producing after market hydraulic Brake bleeding systems. Anyone who has looked up the price of an Avid brake bleeding kit to baulk at the price and then continued to suffer with spongy brakes will jump for one of these kits which are up to 80% cheaper than originals.
They have kindly sent me a couple of kits and some frame protection tape to try and as soon as I get a Torex key small enough for Caths old Magura Julies Ill be giving them a go and posting a full review here. They are available online together with some useful ‘how to do it’ videos at
