JsyJoel93 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Because with water the feel gos away after short time of being in the brake then your pads rub on the rim.Never really found that to be honest, but all brakes are slightly different i guess, and cheers ARV* going to try the Citroen stuff as it sounds pretty damn good !Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 in the long term water will oxidise the aluminium components inside the brake and they will corrode, this may take a while to happen but it is inevitable so i wouldnt use it!I use shimano mineral oil because its the same density as magura blood and alot cheaper!

BIGA1 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I've always used the same mineral oil that Citroën used in their brake systems, suspensions and centralised circuits, and it's cheaper than Magura's oil (3.50 £/litre aprox) and performs better than water.You mean LHM (Remember Citroen are rusty piles of SH*T) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
