-Dylan- Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Hey, I heard that back in the day people used the Citroen LHM fluid to bleed there Magura’s as a cheap alternative to the official Magura Blood. Can’t seem to find the stuff anymore but does anyone know if the “Halfords Brake Fluid LHM Plus” would work instead? I don’t really want to give it a water bleed as I will be travelling in a couple of weeks and the bike will be standing for a few months. cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rab shropshire Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 yeah that will work or you can buy bikehut mineral oil from halfords it all does the same job, or bleed with water then before you travel just empty the system all together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modifiedridah2k9 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 If the bike will just be left standing, why bleed it at all? Just bleed it when your actualy going to ride it. P.S Good choice of title, seriosly lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials owns Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 ah my bad, read it wrong. but there is always the problem if you bleed it with water then you might have to oil the pistons when you get back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
