gary-mac Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Hi peeps how are we all, Right i've just gave my hs33's a waterbleed and think the feel is amazing so i've been having a think about it etc and was wondering if any one has tried watercoolant?? The reason behind this is for freezing purposes. It gets down to very low temperatures here and i'm worried the brakes freeze so i've been thinking about ready mix coolant, they have anti corrosive properties so its safe for aluminium and rubber! so would this work or has any one tried this. cheers garymac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l33th3tr33 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 What, like antifreeze? in that case yes, a lot of people use it in the winter to stop the water freezing in their brake without having to switch back to oil and losing the feel of the brake. Can't quite remember the mix ratio, but I'm pretty sure noone runs PURE antifreeze. Think it may have been 10 part water to 1 part antifreeze, but don't quote me on that. Oh, and a nice new grind for the winter definitely helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoSam Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I have had my rear maggy bled with a mixture of 2 parts water to 1 part antifreeze for the best part of a year now and it still works perfect =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I'm pretty sure noone runs PURE antifreeze. I have. Didn't really seem to be a problem at all. Standard thing applies - there's around 25ml of fluid in a HS33, so there's not really much there at all. You don't have to be mega precise with ratios or anything like that simply because there's so little it's not going to make a huge difference if you've got 1ml more of antifreeze than you should...

gary-mac Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Mega guys that's great, I've now bled the brakes with ready mixed coolant and all its good! Brakes are working great with lots of power and quick too! Cheers Garymac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
