I need to bleed a Shimano Deore 555 brake and I have got no mineral oil to hand, neither do any of the "LBS's". What can I get from auto shops or Halfrauds that will do the job?
Halfrauds do mineral oil
I hate to suggest it but what about your local bikehut/halfrauds?
Edit darn - too late 😉
That'll do it. Time to bite the bullet and go to halfrauds. 🙁
Give them a ring first if its not local unless they have a big bike dept? Their stock varies quite a lot?
Castrol LHM should do the trick
ive got big tub of shimano mineral oil if anywhere near derby
Any motor factors or decent car garage will most likely LHM in stock.

Cheers for the offer but I am down Birmingham way.
don't worry i won't hold it against you
this stuff from Halfords... http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_204265_langId_-1_categoryId_255218
way better value than Shimano
Good find selaciosa - I use halfrauds DOT 5.1 for DOT systems 🙂 Pretty cheap as well.
£11.49 isn't that cheap for 1l of LHM, think I paid £6.99 locally last time I bought some.
yup, £6 a litre in my local motor factors. also has the added benefit that i can use it to top up the hydropneumatic suspension in my roller. 😉
