Azarathal Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 You can although it's best to use Dot5.1 as its a thinner fluid and gives better lever feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggins412m Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 i've been wondering this too, however i have been put off by how aggressive the stuff is, it'll quite easily "melt" a polystyrene cup, and takes the paint off a a vehicle ramp in a very short time. i personally wouldnt do it due to fear of it damaging the hoses or seals from the inside out, and you not being able to realise this until something fails. Not sure if our little push bike hoses etc are made of the same stuff as what you would find on a motorbike/car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
