Scott Norman Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) it will most proberly burn the seals but you can try lol but then if you stuff your brakes then you screwed mate i did it with fizzy drink before lol compressed so much lol because it fizzed then like stuffed up one of my calepers and leaver Edited February 17, 2008 by titty boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel is sooo hard to burn it's stupid. Doubt you'd get it burning with a lighter. Diesel rots seals aswell. I just had to replace some hosing on my van because it had perished, it just gets broken down by diesel. So really, its a crap idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Token Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Syringe Bleed? Don't give them ideas, it's probably one of the worse liquids you could bleed your brake with. (awaits witty sexual puns) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czar-rider Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) I am not going to use diesel was a stupid idea but i am sure a mate used it and it was mint but never mind. And i had to laugh at the idea of using fizzy pop as a hydrolic fluid, whats this world coming to lol .................. jake Edited February 17, 2008 by Czar-rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt middler Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Why spend money on diesel. If your going to do thatyou might aswell buy magura mineral oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeee Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) I dont know why 10000's of people on this forum bleed there brakes with the wrong correct stuff. For example bleeding a hs33 with water? How stupid is that may be easy and cheap for you lazy people but in the end it stretches the seals inside Basically all the internals will be ruined. I work in a local bikeshop i have kids who bring there xc bikes in for brakes to be bleeded they bleed hope mono minis and hayes nines with mineral oil which is the hassel of draining the fluid out cleaning it then fit new and then bleed it. I dont know whats wrong with using the original stuff besides your brake is mostly likely to freeze in cold weather if its bleeded with water.

Kids of today......The reason is preformance, you get a lighter feel and a more responsive lever as water is thinner.Diesel should be good as its thin and also oil based so is good for internals.Also nearly all the internals on a maggie are plastic (correct me if im wrong) so water wont ruin it.
