YouTube is littered with video tutorials on how to bleed Shimano hydraulic mountain bike brakes. However, we wanted to share the real, professional way to properly bleed and flush a Shimano MTB brake that a highly experienced mechanic would perform. This method ensures that all of the bubbles are bled from the system, and also ensures that the dirty, contaminated mineral oil is flushed out and replaced.

In this video, Mike shares some projects around The Lost Co, chats with the shipping crew, and looks to see what bikes the mechanics are working on. Alex then shares how they perform a Shimano brake bleed and flush by doing a gravity bleed to flush out all of the bubbles and old, dirty fluid.
