Hayes Venom Bleed Kit

No, this kit is specifically designed for mineral oil brake systems. It will not work with DOT fluid brake systems, such as those from SRAM or Avid, as using the wrong fluid can damage your seals.

The dual-syringe setup allows you to push fluid through the system while simultaneously pulling it out at the other end. This creates a closed loop that effectively removes trapped air bubbles, resulting in a much more consistent lever feel.

Yes, the kit includes 2oz of high-performance mineral oil, which is sufficient for a standard bleed on both front and rear brakes. If you are performing a complete system flush or have multiple bikes, you may want to keep extra fluid on hand.

Absolutely. The fittings are designed to be durable and reusable, allowing you to snap them on and off without fluid leaking or air entering the system. Just be sure to clean them thoroughly after each use to keep the seals in good condition.

Yes, the kit is designed to make the process straightforward and clean. While hydraulic bleeding requires patience and attention to detail, the quick-connect fittings and organized storage make it much less intimidating than using improvised tools.
