Do you know how often you have to bleed the brake with a water bleed and what is the best way to bleed with water.

when you get a leak or something...

once ever 2 or 3 months to be sure.

using a syringe or a sink would be the best way, just search to find out.

use a bleed kit if u can, then u dont have the hassle of taking the brake of your bike, i just did a water bleed for my mate an it seems to be really good an holds well. so much easier an cheaper than oil aswell, an all u need is a syringe an insertion pipe/fitting (sweet)

Yea i was the muppet who had a squishy water bleed :$

It was my first bleed (that could sound very bad to you sickos out there!) and i forgot to lift the brake lever so it had some air in.

Now it's done properly and feels pukka :closedeyes:

Not entirely sure of the cons of water bleeds myself but it defo feels alot better than oil now

Yeah, I'd use some de-ionised water to be on the safe side. 65p from garage... sorted! (Y)

...last week I bleed my brakes with baby oil, cause I was worried about the seals thing. f**k that... couldn't get that oil shit out quick enough, feels terrible after using water! So thought bugger it, get some de-ionised while I'm at it.

how do you think fish breathe? Water has air in it about 5% I think so its a better idea to have an oil bleed, but you can bleed by water if you want just don't think it'll last as long probaly 2-3 months depends on how much you ride.

hope I've helped
