Swapped standard Tuono clutch master to RSVR's radial and now air bleed valve leaking a bit. I want to replace with a new one, but I cannot find specs anywhere. Does anyone know thread size of the bleeder? Is it 10 x 1.25? Cheers

Not sure on that mate but a good tip is always wrap the bleed nipple threads with PTFE tape before bleeding.

a) it helps seal the threads when you slacken them to bleed

&

b) stops the screw corroding into the caliper and potentially snapping off when you come to undo it.

Good tip that Ian.

I always use it on my plumbing at home but never on bike or car. I'm about to change fluid in brakes and clutch so will give it a try.

I started doing it when I noticed fluid leaking past the threads when I was bleeding something once and found a few turns sealed the threads up nicely.
