hydrolic brake fill and bleed kit

I have Magura Julie disc brakes and I need to get a fill and bleed kit for it. i was looking around the internet and came across a few different products that I'm not sure what the difference is.

Speedgoat -
https://www.speedgoat.com/prod/store/...y.asp?pid=3942
1) $22.50 [shipping basically included] - Magura Universal Bleed Kit
I'm guessing this is the same as the following from
Webcyclery -
https://www.webcyclery.com/.docs/prod...t_details.html
2) $16.00 - Magura Universal Bleed Kit

CambriaBike -
https://cambriabike.com/brakes/brakesets.htm
3) $15.00 - Magura Hydraulic Bleed & Fill Kit
Magura Bleed & Fill Kit - Oil, & Syringe. 30cc
4) $15.00 - Magura Bleed & Fill Kit
Oil, Line & Syringe for Hydraulics
https://cambriabike.com/brakes/mtb_disc_brakes.htm
5) $18.00 - Magura Bleed & Fill Kit
Oil, Line & Syringe for Hydraulics

Which should I go for? Thanks a lot!

so do you think that all of those products i linked to are actually the "Mini service kit / bleed kit all brakes" as mentioned on the magura site you linked to?

They may all work. I just thought that I steer you in the "Official" direction, so you could make the right choice. I do know that your Julie's use the same hydraulic tubing as my HS11's & HS22's. I found that out last week when I wore a hole in my rear line. Woops..... NO BRAKES !!! at least rear that is... Kinda scary to find that out after you're already screaming downhill.

Just a note about refilling hydraulic brake lines. Always fill back from the bottom slave caliper up to top reservoir. I fixed my brakes today in about 45 mins. Probably saved myself $40 or so. There is a How-To book in most repair kits. But if not, it's really simple, especially if you're only going to bleed the brakes.

Good luck!

I have the mini service kit, I bought itfrom Magura,
as Sonny posted the link, thats the place to go.
Im not sure if the other places mentioned are the same kit, but if you find it cheaper, then go for it.
Also, right from the Magura trained rep at a LBS, you can use Mineral Oil from the drug store, but the bleed kit comes with a little bottle of the oil.

Later
