Hi,
I am new to all this singing and dancing fancy pants disc brake job and as such now is the time I need to top them up as my back brake is non-existant.
I know I need some little tubes to make the bleeding process a little less messy and my brakes state "mineral oil" on them but there is talk of Dot 1,2,3,4,5 oil so therefore I have no idea what I am doing. WHich is the recommended Dot or is there a standard oil I can use?
My brakes are real budget disc brakes but when they are not thirsty they work just fine so I am not looking to replace them but the only kit I can find on the web is the Shimano one. Is this a universal disc brake bleeed kit or do I need one specific to my brakes (can't remember the name now)?
Any info you can provide to a clueless goon would be most welcome.
Cheers guys.
