  • Any reason for using DOT 5.1? The stuff is awful in every way apart from it's temperature properties (corrodes piping, highly hygroscopic etc). I wouldn't put it near my car braking system.

    Is there any specific reason why I couldn't use a synthetic DOT4?

    I use a racing synthetic DOT4 in my car brakes and they go upto 600ºC so I can't see why I can't use it here???

  • @Hypersonik Feel free to use DOT 4. DOT 5.1 is used because of higher performance. XX brakes need 5.1 only. Do NOT use DOT 5 in any Avid brake.

  • Two questions:

    1. Why haven't you done a video for Root 2 brakes?

    2. If gases rise, how come we don't need to do headstands to fart?

  • @tasteegold7772 In cars it's recomended to change the brake fluid at a certain interval, so yeah I guess something happens with the fluid over time.

  • @SRAMtech in the beginning you say that bleeding is removing air from the system. so aside from collecting air bubbles does the fluid itself ever actually break down/get dirty?

  • Most Useful Video I Think I've Ever Seen

  • Bro you have a major announcer voice...threw me off...

  • @skidpiggy haha Chrissss, i have popsssyclessss in my bassssement XD

  • i just hate hydrolics brakes since i had to change pads on my juicy3, the pistons were too close togheter so i had to push them apart (advice from pinkbike forum) this broke the diaphragm so i would have to empty the brake, buy & install new diaphragm and rebleed the brake, im not rich godamnit, and what a pain in the a*s!! now im pissed cuz it would be less expensive to get some brand new BB5 but id be stuck with brand new juicy3 pads!!!
