braderzz.p Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 when i want to ride in this cold weather i can't because my brake has a water bleed and freezes but my friend told me to try vodka because its no thicker than water and doesn't freeze. And i was wondering if any one has tried this and if it corrodes braided hoses ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Erm every time you leave your bike outside a shop you'll come back to it with the hoses undone with a hobo next to it drinking the vodka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshlyd1 Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Errr i dont think so you noob , the hoses run 50ml if that most of the time so i dont think no ones getting drunk wont vodka effect the seals like antifreeze on its own ?

TROYston Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 But then water is said to destroy your seals? And Anti-freeze neat tries to find any crack possible, so you will very soon be saying goodsbye to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I was running anti freeze and water today, everytime we rode to another spot it froze solid. You need more antifreeze then. In weather like this I'd say 50/50 water/antifreeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncan_echo26 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 why just not use oil while its cold rather than making up a potion that may freeze. +1 I don't see why people go to all that bother mixing loads of different thing and stuff like that. Just use water and anti-freeze or brake fluid. Or if your cool... Get some vee-brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
literocola_vnv Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) Why waste perfectly good alcohol in your brakes when it belongs in your belly!
