Nick Manning Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 I've only ever used water, I probably should use anti-freeze in the winter, but so far I'v not had any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Ive used loads of stuff. But water seems to work the best. Sounds daft but it does. Gives a sharper lever feel. But to be honest it's best sticking with Magura Royal Blood, because hydraulic brakes need lubrication and water is not the best lubricant.The safest option is to use Magura royal blood. But theres other's that work. I've used WD-40, DOT 4, Royal Blood and water, and water is far the best and easiest.Oli x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javzi monty Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 hi my mate used water and a bit of 3 IN 1 OIL and it was the best bleed i ever felt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 I used water on my brothers bike, it's never frozen.It doesn't even damage them when it does freeze, unless the pads hit the rim while the water expands, in which case it can blow the seal in the lever.
