El Cristoff Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 incorrect, ehtanol does freeze, just at a lower tempreture than water.yeah, sorry, meant to put it doesnt freeze at 0 degree's. bit like antifreeze really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris13 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 yup, but vodka and jack daniels have achohol wich can fowl the seals, water and anti freeze has far less/0 achohol so no fowling/very little over a very long period of time.

Metal Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) nope, water has air disolved in it, the only way to get rid of that, is to boil it, try it, will give an even stiffer brake!All boiling water will do is turn it into steam. To get the "air" out of water you would have to use electrolysis which would turn the water into two gases Hydrogen and Oxygen. Neither of which would be any good to bleed ur brakes with.

Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) Scientist chris at work people! Boiling the water would purify it some what so you would have extra pure water in your brakes!Also chris to get the "air" out of the water you would have to de-ionize the water, which would give you water in it purist form, but doing this will increase it Viscosity which is the oppiste effect of what you want!

Si-man Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 water and anti-freeze ***! makes the brake less spongey and you can bleed with water without a bleed kit (bleed them in the bath)But then you have to reset your break and it also increases the chances of threading the brake mounts.Just use oil, its what it was desinged for.No need for antifreeze, its not asif it minus 30.

jsychem Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 That WD40 idea sounds good, i think i'll try that. And water just makes the lever softer, more free and will give it a generally quicker response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakewell Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) jack Daniels or vodka, as ethanol doesnt freeze good idea or what!if i used that and my brake hose split i'd be pumping the lever so fast with my mouth over the split! don't want to waste any do you.

lankyri Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 couple questions and answers:how do you get wd40 through your hose as its in a can ive never had a oil brake i hate them they just feel slow where as water feels responsive and so much betterif you did put vodka through your hosing wouldnt it sod up your sealsalso if you fell off and split your hose at least you have a shot to ease the pain loland yes you can bleed a dengura but it is not recommended to bleed with water apparently which is why i wont bother with one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
