Orgun_Donor Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 It basically means that your HS33's are using water and a bit of anti freeze, instead of magura mineral oil. Personally i like mine oil bleed, thats how they're sposed to be people!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt rushton Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 What he said and i'd advise you just to buy some oil if your going to bleed your brake because water ends up wrecking the seals in your brake and it will pop.

chrishayton Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 i run water bled maguras on both my bikes and they are so much nicer than running mineral oil. feels more responsive and faster. it doesnt really do that much to the seals so dont worry about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Magura have a year warranty on there seals leaking!5 years now. I would have thought you've have known that being 'in the trade for sooo long'.The reason why they come with oil is becuase it's suposed to lube it's self or something, and water has theroretical problems when ran in maguras. But there was a poll on here asking if anyone had problems with running maguras with water, there were about 2% who had problems, against the rest who didn't. I'm running water and mines fine. It's so much easier (and cleaner) to bleed aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
