Blue spot bleed nipple size?

Post by Gord »

Does anybody know what size thread the bleed nipples are for a rear blue spot caliper?
Has anybody used the self bleeding type nipples?

I think they are the same as the standard nipples. I've just measured the pitch of one of my old nipples and they are 1.25 thread. I replaced mine with stainless steel ones.
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

I second that. They are M8x1.25.
