ellis-collins Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Hello, i'm new to trials and recently bought a second hand bike. The brakes sort of needed bleeding so I got my friend to water bleed them. I was just wonderingwhether or not water bleeds are a good idea ? Also I was wondering if they can harm my brake in anyway ? And another thing, when it comes to winter I am concerned about my brake freezing, would it be a good idea to mix some anti-freeze with the water that they get bled with ? Thanks for viewing .

Mark W Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 You can put some antifreeze in there now and it'll help keep the seals in your brake lubricated too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
