    Tektro Disc Brake Bleed

    Any suggestions? Can't figure it out. I have the installation instructions that came with the brand new bike, ran the cable properly...How the heck do I bleed this thing?

    I don't think those use DOT 5. That model is a special one off that uses pneumatic fluid, iirc.
