Maintaining your mountain bike’s suspension just got easier—and mobile. Our semi-automatic Vacuum Bleeder combines simplicity, efficiency, and cutting-edge features, empowering you to achieve professional results right in your home workshop. Let’s break down the process and showcase the unique features of the Vacuum Bleeder:
What Makes Our Device Special?
- No Electricity Needed: Our vacuum bleeder uses advanced Venturi technology to create a powerful vacuum, requiring only compressed air—no electricity necessary when using CO2-bottles! This makes it highly portable and versatile for use anywhere.
- Transparent Tank: The built-in transparent tank lets you see every detail of the process in real-time. Watch as the oil degases, foam dissipates, and air bubbles are completely removed. It’s not just functional—it’s mesmerizing!
- Semi-Automatic Operation: Our user-friendly device takes the guesswork out of suspension bleeding. With a semi-automatic setup, you get precision and control without complicated procedures.
How the Bleeding Process Works
1. Preparation:
- Safety First: Ensure you're working in a well-ventilated area and wearing appropriate protective gear.
- Set Up the Device: Place the Vacuum Bleeder on a stable surface and connect it to an air compressor or CO2-bottle.
2. Connecting the Suspension Component:
- Select the Appropriate Adapter: Our device comes with a range of adapters compatible with various shock absorbers and forks. Choose the one that matches your component.
- Attach your suspension component: Securely connect the transparent hose to the Vacuum Bleeder using the selected adapter. Ensure all connections are airtight to avoid leaks.
3. Start the Bleeding Process:
- Initiate Vacuum Cycle: Turn on Bleed valve to create a vacuum with a Venturi nozzle in the suspension component. The Venturi effect ensures efficient air removal without requiring electricity.
- Watch the Magic: The transparent tank allows you to observe the oil as air bubbles are pulled out and foam dissipates. This real-time visibility ensures you know when the process is complete. Turn on the Relax valve to depressurize the Vacuum Bleeder and suspension component.
- Refill with Oil: After degassing the damping oil, the component will be filled with fresh damping oil at the correct pressure level by turning on the Fill valve.
4. Quality Check:
- Monitor the transparent tank and hose to make sure no air bubbles remain in the system. The clear view ensures thorough and consistent results every time.
- Nerd tips: Compress the damper (or fork cartridge) slowly and listen for any unusual sounds, such as squishing, bubbling, or gurgling noises. A well-bled suspension will be silent during compression and rebound.
5. Disconnecting the Component:
- Safely release any remaining pressure with the Relax valve, disconnect the adapter, and close the bleeding port. Finish up your suspension service and hit the trails!
Whether you’re an avid mountain biker or a DIY tinkerer, our semi-automatic vacuum bleeding device is your ticket to mastering suspension maintenance. It’s portable, easy to use, and brings pro-level performance to your home.
