531joshua Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 AlrightI've noticed some topics with guides in how to go about bleeding Magura hs33 brakes.Although i'm more experienced with disk brakes, i had a thought on the 'bleeding hs33's with water subject'.As some of the inside of the magura hs33 brake is metal will this not be prone to rot/rust due to the water?If it was good to use water then why do the professional majority use specific oil?I did think maybe a lot of the brake is aluminium so it will be quite resistant to rust?Please comment as i'm needing to give my brake a bleed and would like to make a good job.Thanks, Josh.

Si-man Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Made of aluminium, not much is going to happen to tell the truth, plus, its a closed systemOnly thing that tends to die are the seals, they tend to split.Just stick to what is supposed to be in there, then you will be fine.

Fixed Pants™ Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 (edited) Water can't evaporate inside a closed system! If it did it wouldn't make a difference anyway as the vapour would have no where to go to, it would just condence and cool thus turning it back into its liquid form.
