    Magura Royal Blood works well and mixes fine with the Shimano stuff they’re originally filled with.

    SLX brakes, just have to be the easiest brakes to bleed. Top it up, open the valve, tap and wiggle a bit to get the air out, gravity does it all. Job done. One day all brakes will be bled like that. Avid, take note.

    I use shimano. but why not halfords mineral oil or any others? Surely they are all the same apart from the colour? (although that doesnt stop me from wanting to use overpriced red shimano oil)
