Bleed and piston exposure all wrapped up into one versatile tool. Loads from the top of the caliper and keeps itself in place - no need for the pad retainer pin unless you flip the caliper upside down. This makes service faster and easier. For bleeding, leave the filler block in place. For piston exposure, flip out the filler, put the block into the caliper, and pump the brake until the piston stops against the step. The filler block is tethered to the main block so you don't have to worry about losing it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy original brake blocks have been a very popular addition to many mechanic's toolboxes, allowing quick and easy brake bleeding and piston exposure for mobilizing and cleaning. The only issue was you needed a block for each use case. A bleed block, and a piston exposure block. With four piston blocks, there was the addition of a third - there was the 4x2 block and the 4x1 block to expose either two pistons at a time (for well maintained brakes during service) or one at a time. (to re-mobilize a single sticky piston)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese Uniblocks fix that, with all of the functions combined into one compact block. The piston exposure capability is there, and it can be quickly converted to a bleed block by popping in the magnetic filler blocks. This will make storage of the blocks simpler, and finding the right block is just a matter of grabbing the one with the right color coding. The bleed fillers are connected to the main block by a flexible leash.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAvailable for the following calipers:\u003cbr\u003eRED - Shimano calipers with G or J pads, older two piston MTB brakes\u003cbr\u003eORANGE - SRAM 4 piston Guide\/G2\/Level brakes\u003cbr\u003eYELLOW - SRAM 4 piston Code\/Motive\/DB8\u003cbr\u003eGREEN - SRAM 2 piston road and MTB\u003cbr\u003eBLUE - Shimano MTB 4 piston calipers that take the D, H, or N pads\u003cbr\u003ePURPLE - Shimano road and newer MTB 2 piston calipers that take the K or L pads\u003cbr\u003eNEON GREEN - Hope V4\u003cbr\u003eNEON GREEN - Hope E4\/RX4+ - with a black stripe\u003cbr\u003eGREY - TRP DH 4 piston brakes that take Shimano 4 piston pads\u003cbr\u003ePINK - Magura 4p (split pad caliper)\u003cbr\u003ePINK - Magura 2p\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNote that the Hope 4 piston blocks include an extra 8mm thick portion to be compatible with Hope's own published bleed procedure. Hope has the bleed process happen with the pistons slightly extended to help extract bubbles from behind the piston as well as to get some piston mobility. The full width bleed capability as well as the targeted piston exposure still remains on the other side.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompatibility:\u003cbr\u003e* Campagnolo Ekar works with the purple Shimano K\/L block\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnfortunately, I can't help you if you've got SRAM Maven brakes. They're built extra burly which means no top entry for the pads or the brake block, and I wasn't able to come up with a piston exposure block that worked well for all four pistons. Sorry, Maven owners!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"cmh Printed Designs","offers":[{"title":"RED - Shimano G\/J 2p","offer_id":52192058933547,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ORANGE - SRAM Guide\/Level 4p","offer_id":52192058966315,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"YELLOW - SRAM Code\/Motive 4p","offer_id":52192058999083,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GREEN - SRAM 2p","offer_id":52192059031851,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLUE - Shimano 4p D\/H\/N","offer_id":55031869767979,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"PURPLE - Shimano 2p K\/L","offer_id":52192059064619,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"N GRN - Hope E4 \/ RX4+","offer_id":52192061980971,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"N GRN - Hope V4","offer_id":52192062013739,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"N GRN - Hope X2","offer_id":52192062046507,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GREY - TRP DH","offer_id":52192062079275,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"PINK - Magura 4p split","offer_id":52192062112043,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"PINK - Magura 2p","offer_id":52192062144811,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"TAN - Hayes Dominion 4p","offer_id":52192062210347,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"TAN - Hayes Dominion 2p","offer_id":52192062243115,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/3789\/6235\/files\/il_1588xN.6797369888_5u53.avif?v=1769846910","url":"https:\/\/cmhprinteddesigns.com\/products\/brake-maintenance-blocks-the-uniblock-1","provider":"cmh Printed Designs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
