Sam T Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 water and now im doing water anti freeze, 50:50 ratio but i feel there must be something a bit better any advice? Is there any need for anything better? I think that water give the most responsive feel on the lever. I bled mine last night with Vodka and water ( ratio 3:1 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie.rush48 Posted November 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 would anti freeze, vodka and water be a good blend do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam T Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 would anti freeze, vodka and water be a good blend do you think? I'm sure it would be ok, alothough i don't see the point of it! I think you can pretty much freestyle with the 3. Some people run pure anti freeze, some half and half ect.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 what you need is some mercury! It's even thinner than water so will give even lighter, faster action. It is pretty toxic though, and heavy, and will probably go solid when cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary-mac Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Why would water be inferior? For sure water bled feels great and ticks 90% of all boxes but one. There harse on seals, it doesn't stop me using it though but am sure when the new phatphluid comes out it will be very good and not so harsh on seals.

I'd imagine if you flushed your system fully of contaminants and then bled with that stuff your seals would keep for a fair bit longer than if you used tap water. Oh, and for anyone thinking of it, mercury won't freeze until it drops to -38.72c, so solid brakes won't be something you need to worry about in this country (unless the freak weather continues ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 I bled mine with a cable, it's great. If only it were possible I once used water, it was really snappy. Then i got a whole new setup with braided Magura hoses with Magura oil, guess what, it is probably just as snappy. Give everything a proper service and lube it up sufficiently.
