Hi all

Did a quick search but to no avail

Those Sram db4 brakes from Fruit Industries...they come with cable caps to guide through a frame...do they brakes need bled after this connection to the calliper?

Also...'special' sram mineral oil...is this a real thing?

TIA!

I fitted mine a while back and bled them with Shimano mineral oil as I’ve got a bottle of it. 
No issues whatsoever.

i had to bleed teh rear (i left the original hse in place - in an eeb-  and bolted on teh brake and caliper ) - but it was easy - used aftermarket oil as its what i have in teh shed. all good.
