    OK so i'm kinda planning on changing my brakes a little bit when we get to the campsite...

    Question/request: I cant for the life of me find a suitable length of clear tubing to help me bleed the brakes. If someone has something suitable, could they bring it along with them please??? Many thanking you's

    I've got loads of spare silicone hoses that would do the job if you can't get a clear one.

    In case I cant get any, would you mind bringing a little bit of tube with you (can use as a last resort if needs be)

    Thanks team
