silly question, is all dot 5.1 brake fluid the same? was looking on CRC @ wiggle and there doesnt seem to be any.. so found some from a car parts place.... will i die in a ball of flames if i use this???
I've been successfully stopping using halfords finest 5.1 and I've not got balls of flames...
Got mine in an auto factors shop, nice little bottle 250ml of 5.1 heck of a lot cheaper than from bike shops.
Haven't fire-balled yet 🙂
great... just what i wanted to hear 😀
In typical STW snob fashion, Halfords do a high performance 5.1 fluid that I use because I find I get less brake fade with it in both my car and motorbike on track days, so I use it in the mountain bikes well. A full run down Snowdon on the dh bike at a not insignificant pace and the brakes were still spot on at the bottom, says it all really.
