paolo Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 i used DOT4 in my louise yesterday hahaDon't they take mineral oil ? I'm pretty sure dot4 will make the seals go poo-poo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 i used DOT4 in my louise yesterday hahaYeah, That wasn't a good idea. Magura disc seals are crappy enough with the right fluid! haha.Yeah, as said above, water boils. A mate did it in an old hope just to get him home, and it boiled really really easily.

modman Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 i'd reccomend using proper maggie royal blood for the disk brake, if not try baby oil im sure that'd be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben_OCP Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Water can be used, but if something happens to the brake i dont think you can get it warrantied..Maggie Blood *** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Water can be used, but if something happens to the brake i dont think you can get it warrantied..Maggie Blood *** And something will happen to the break at the first hill you go down, and that something will be the water boiling. Trust me, like I said, a mate tryed it as a bodge in a hope and it boiled with a day of him doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Use mineral oil in it.We had to bleed one of these for a customer at work, took ages to actually figure out how to bleed it, as we're all used to Hopes and Hayes. It even says on the reservoir cap that you must use mineral oil only. - As said, water will fook up, and DOT will fook it up. We didn't have the right equipment for bleeding it, as it has syringes with special needles and stuff?But we just gravity fed the oil through, meaning we took off the bleed bolt, and simply kept pouring oil through, then put the bleed bolt back on, topped it up, and put back on the reservoir cap.Worked perfectly, but made a right oily mess.
