Just send $12.99 plus postage and I will send out two fully functional brake lever tie straps, they will make your life easyand fullfill all of your wildest fantasies...well I can't guarantee the fantasy part....and pay no attention to the fact that they will look like two ordinary zip ties that can be purchased at any local walmart store...these are special
How's that, anyone ready to fork over some buckage yet??? hmmm....

I don't mean to offend, but we may have to polish up the marketing campaign a bit... you know, find a snazzy name and such. I am, however, willing to volunteer my help for the greater cause...
Just a sample: The ABSARD (Advanced Brake System Air Removal Device). While it may look like a regular tie-wrap, the ABSARD is actually constructed of high-tech space age polymers (NASA developed and used on the space shuttle) that ensure that optimal tension is maintained to ensure an optimal air bleed and resulting braking performance.
And I'm only just getting warmed up! he he

I see logo's stamped on each tie, maybe even individually sealed in there own sleeve..etc...etc...They need to be thicker, and wider than the normal tie...perhaps we should not be discussing this on an open forum where someone will surely steal our concept....to the PM's
And then to take over the WORLD!!!!!!! ahaahaahaa

You apply the lever for a long length of time (I use overnight) and the pressure on the system forces the air bubbles to the top (master cylinder reservoir). A now patent pending zip tie does the trick. Plus turn the forks to the left to get the mc as high as possible.
You'll be greeted with rock hard abs.... ummm, I mean, a firm lever in the morning. I consider it periodic maintenance.

Been doing this for 20 years on Dirt abd Street bikes. I usually do it before a long weekend ride of a full day of riding planned.
Simple and alwaya works.
Easiest way to get the extra air out of the system.......
For those of you who have never tried it, do it. YOu will be amazed how stiff and hard the lever will be
