FAQ

Is the BKM-1.2 compatible with DOT brake systems?

No. The BKM-1.2 uses mineral oil and is not compatible with DOT fluid brake systems such as SRAM or Avid. Use the correct bleed kit for your brake brand and fluid type.

How often should I bleed my mineral oil brakes?

Most mineral oil brake systems benefit from a bleed annually or any time you notice lever pull becoming soft, inconsistent, or requiring more travel than usual.

Can the BKM-1.2 be used multiple times?

Yes. The syringes and tubing are reusable. Additional mineral oil bleed fluid is available separately from Park Tool if you need to top up your supply.

Best For

Cyclists and home mechanics running Shimano or Tektro hydraulic disc brakes who want to maintain brake performance with a proper mineral oil bleed kit rather than taking the bike to a shop.
