    Chances are, all rubber parts, seals, bladders etc are now buggered. The two really don’t mix.

    If they’re Shimano, spare seals don’t really exist which might make that a very expensive mistake.

    ‘fraid so. Someone one came to me with a set of Hayes that had been bled with mineral oil. All rubber and plastic parts had to be replaced. Basically, if it’s not metal, it’s in the bin. Metal parts will need to be cleaned with IPA.
