Frayed...keep in mind the lines that go from frame to caliper generally go UP...air bubbles wont travel DOWN... so once you got it mostly done and you feel like the lines are full, crack the nipples enough to let that air escape...soon as you get steady fluid stream, close nipple ... then refill reservoir ... won't hurt to let it sit w/tongue up overnite and check to see if needs toppin' off next day ...patience w/this will get a TIGHT system... ;) ...


When you open each nipple, if ya don't wanna get fluid spilled, go to hrdwre store 1st and get short piece of vinyl tube to force-fit onto nipple and hold a cup under it to catch fluid... ;) ...

and keep pumping till the bubbles stop, then you can tighten the bleed valve without air drawing back into the cylinder.

Wise choice, you'll be happy with the equipment you chose. The brakes aren't that hard to bleed. If you've done brake work on any vehicle, these willb e simple. ;)
