Dave Sutton Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 im not sure how to do it as i may be getting a brake that has already been bled with water and anti-freeze can i just bleed it with normal bleed fluid after it has water in it?

bundee80 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Try the Wiki area... Bleeding Magura Brakes Instead of using oil, just use water/antifreeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kerley Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 DONT USE ANTIFREEZE!! my mate done it yesterday and had so much air in his system when he pulled the brake the pads were on the rim but the lever came back to the bar, but my mate andy b bled his brakes with wd40 and it feels like an oil bleed but it doesnt freeze and gives off a lush bite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 It sounds like you mean, putting oil in a brake with water/antifreeze in it... In that case, empty it and then just bleed it with oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a fluid bleed with loads of air if it isn't a good one. Anti-freeze is fine if it is bled well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Just a note, don't use to much anti freeze (e.g dilute it properly) as it will eat seals even faster then water do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
