If you need to bleed then yes its worth it..
2,30 m brake hose, 50ml bottle MAGURA Blood, syringe, filling and bleeding tube, olives, barbed joints, washers, zip ties.

No cable guides.

I've never bought one to be honest, I bought a massive bottle of Magura Blood and a bag of olives separately as I have 7 or 8 sets of brakes to test/bleed. There does look to be a sleeve nut in that picture though.

a 50mm bottle should be plenty for 2 brakes. i already had the olives and parts i needed from my lbs and found some syringes on ebay which came with hose i think the most i paid was about 6 quid for the lot not 20 quid or however much the kit is.

The fluid is a mineral based fluid and is the same stuff that was used in the mid 1990's Citroen Hydrospastic suspension, you can buy a litre of the stuff from a motor factors for a fiver. Olives and the barbed fittings are available from pneumatics/Hydraulics suppliers such as Parker.
Syringes are available from chemists and the lengths of hose from a motors factors, windscreen washer hose.

Any idea on the size of the fittings required? Whats the thread in the cyclinders and the levers?
