Why Bleed Hydraulic Brakes?

Generally when they aren’t functioning as well as you’d like and you’ve ruled out dirt and worn pads (we can help you check those things too).

Hydraulic fluid breaks down due to heat and pressure. Doing this preventive maintenance step once per season will help keep your brakes in working order.
