  5. Questions On: Water Bled Magura's

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    Posted · Edited by Nickkkkk

    Maybe I am just being silly but what does "bleeding properly" mean? As I see it, a proper bleed means first and foremost no air bubbles and second no traces of old oil. It is easier to fulfil these requirements when bath-bleeding because the whole brake is submerged in liquid so there is definitely no air. Now, all things being equal, water is always going to give better/snappier lever feel because it's less viscous. It's physics and it's nothing to do with the quality of your bleed. So I challenge your view that oil can give you the same lever feel as water. I also don't understand why you propose using a higher viscosity oil: if the original oil is already viscous enough to make people switch to water, how is higher viscosity oil going to help?

    Can anybody answer my question about antifreeze? :lol:

    I never said the same, i said like. Both the viscosity of water and magura oil are capable of a snappy brake feel (why would they sell it if it was to thick and didn't offer good performance for the system)? If your bleeding with oil and it still feels at all spongy, then you have air in the system.

    If you get the knack for bleeding properly you can get magura oil to run in the brake system so that it gives a good brake feel (like water). I found running the system with water, (before i learnt how to bleed properly) just caused the brake to seize up over a few months... Your best bet is to practice bleeding with a higher viscosity oil.

    slept with this girl who seems to have gotten abit attached :ermm: so i told her i'm not interested. Then she says even though your not interested, do you wanna be friends with benefits?? i havn't really said ote back cause i'm pretending i'm asleep at the moment. Is this a bad idea because she has feelings for me?

    Earby's pretty high up, in the yorkshire dales. I'm about 10 mins away. On the moors where I live, its about 4 feet, so 6 feet in earby isn't really exaggeration

    You are aware 6ft is average man height?

    LOL

    got about 6ft of snow here, so i didn't expect to have my driving less this morning, but no she text me saying she'd be there. So she arrives and i we do the usual driving route and we were going over the top of some street and this girl racer comes flying at us. I pulled in as fast as i could but she couldn't stop fast enough or get around me without losing control and went head on into the front of a people carrier, totally smashed her radiator probably a write off, her fault for going so fast in those conditions was pretty piss funny actually...
