portugueselad Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) what oil is best for it as i dont want to use water Edited August 25, 2010 by portugueselad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny--Trials Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) This stuff called magura royal blood is the best oil. You can get it from www.tartybikes.com Dont touch water unless you mix it with anti-freeze because it will freeze and break your brake (if that makes sense ) in the winter. By the way, you will need to buy either a magura service kit or the tarty brand bleed tools which are just as good. Hope this helped Edited August 25, 2010 by Kenny--Trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helped Actualy water is the BEST thing to use, better feel of the lever and so on... And Kenny your brake doesnt break in the winter? It just freezes ( the water inside it.) and then you put it next to a heater until it un- freezes ( sorry, tere was no other words i could think of lol ). So use water mate, makes your brakes better.

It doesn't, unless you have badly set up brakes and have the tpa all the way in, otherwise it just pushes the pads onto the rim, it's happened to me many times! Plonk the bike in the house/car with the heating on and the brake is fine again. Or just add antifreeze for winter and enjoy the quicker reacting brake over oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
