Mtchell Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I was thinking about this topic the other day, You have your hope DOT4/5.1 brakes and so on, disc brakes yes. Then you have your HS33 which use miniral oil which am led to believe is thinner than DOT fluids.Why don't magura make HS33's which use DOT Fluids? Surely this wll improve the brake proformance wouldn't it.??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sstein Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 First of all don't use dot fluid in your maggie. For less money you can get citreon mineral oil. I have a tendancy to use cooking oil and I know lots of people use water, both of which are fine. Secondly any lbs that tells you to use dot fluid in a hydraulic brake without first checking the correct fluid is crap and should not be allowed to help customers even if they say to use it in disc brakes a lot of them use mineral oil and would be f*cked if dot fluid was used.

Mat Smith!! Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 It will do the job, but I wouldnt bother lol, stick to Citeron oil/magura blood, or just water + antifreeze . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Whats wrong with the standard mineral oil.LHM+ (Mineral based brake/suspension fluid), costs the same amount as Dot 4, and is designed for a Magura.So why would you want to use a synthethic based oil in a mineral designed system..?

Jack Chinnery Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Why not use it, then?Because I dont have any atm and my waterbleed keeps freezing. Hence why I ordered a whole new maggie bleed kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I'm sure antifreeze and a bucket would sort your problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
