Joey B Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 ok, I'm just about to bleed my maguras because i've bought the UNEX braided hosing for them, and i've got some de ionised water and some anti-freeze. Just wondering how much anti-freeze should i add to the water! Also anyone got any tips on bleeding them apart from what the Maggie Manual says. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsey Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 it doesnt really matter.. you can use 100% anti freeze if you want but i would say about 50/50.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhups Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) You wouldnt need to do it 50/50, 75 water and 25 anti freze would be more then enough Edited August 24, 2006 by bhups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsey Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 i was just giving a rough estimate and yea 25% would be fine.. the more anti freeze you use, obviously the less change you have of the fluid freezing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 iv neaver used anti frezze in mine iv heard that does damage the seals think ill have to this winter though. most anti freeze you buy tells u the ratios im pritty sure.as far as bleeding goes i think of the finger over a straw thing if u suck coke into a straw then put a finger over one end non will come out the other the same is true witha break also the bigger the syringe you can find the better realy a lot of people do water bleeds in a sink or somthing but of course if you are using anti frezze this probly wouldnt impress your mum to much.ben.

padarik Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 doesn't the amount of water and anti freeze have to be around the same? like it is when its used for cars? may be wrong though cheeers padarik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
