craigjames Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 mineral oil. cant use dot fluid as it will ruin the seals. wouldnt know about sunflower oil! just get some mineral oil form a car supplies and spares shop, much cheaper than a bike shop.

Ben John-Hynes Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Sunflower oil is mega mega thicki think the brake would feel horridtry it and give us feedback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravemonkey Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Anti freeze is corrosive if you use it on its own But a tiny bit in with the water is fine loads of people use itI would just get some mineral oil though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
