rudirudirudirudirudi Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 hi all. iv recently been shying away from water and starting to use royal blood. just wondering if anyone has used the monty mineral oil. it says it's thinner so that it feels slightly nicer on the lever than the blood. just wondering if anyone has used it?? it seems good value as well. well let me know.cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Why aren't you loving the H2O? I've been running Maguras on it for years and doubt I'd run anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Bleech Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 No doubt being Monty mineral oil it will be a complete rip off. Find out what weight it is and you can probably get it in your local halfords at a fraction of the price for ten times as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycholist Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I got a litre of LHM (Citroen suspension fluid), which smells the same as Magura mineral oil, but is a slightly different colour for a little over 5 Euro... Monty only are competing on price with Magura, who also rip their customers off on brake fluid prices. I'd be interested to try a Magura on standard mineral oil, Monty oil and water side by side. Water shows a noticeably quicker lever return than Magura oil anyway. I'd guess the Monty stuff is probably more like all other mineral oils than like water - unless it actually is water and they're really taking the piss...
