Shimano brake fluid
KMC'ers,
I need some brake fluid for some new brakes I just got. I bought on Ebay. They are new but did not include the fluid bottles. Thanks in advance...

Re: Shimano brake fluid
Shimano uses mineral oil. I have some Magura Blood, which I don't have plans for since all of my junk is now using DOT. Do you need a bleed kit, or just some oil?

I use Magura in my Shimano's. That is all Frank has.

That will work. I can probably meet you at the castle ride at 1800.

Re: Shimano brake fluid
I'll bring it, then. It is a small bleed kit bottle that I never used, but should be enough for a total replacement in a 2-piston brakeset.

Can I get the bleed kit too? I am not exactly sure what you are talking about, so I rather have it and not need it; than needed and not have it.
