trialsiain Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Hey guys what antifreeze do you guys use in brakes in winter ? i used some high concentrate stuff with like a 25/75 mix of it and water and it made my piston or piston oring swell .. even though i had been using water just fine before that for months. Also what is the worst that can happen if the brake freezes ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Any antifreeze. It didn't make your piston swell, that's just coincidence. If your brake freezes, worst situation is it could crack the lever and calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customrider-Rhys Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 i used tesco's ready mixxed antifreeze, seems good stuff, and as to freezing when it caught me out once it ruined my piston seals, leaked like a sive, new piston and it was fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
