Is the bike any good though?
Blimey! How much of the stuff do you go through?It will break after the 1st ride.....
the brake fluid for mine costs 35 quid!
Yeah, you can use hydraulic rim brakes or hydraulic disc breaks.mountain bikes have brake fluid ? :err:
about twice a year (depending on riding style and distance). so it aint that bad. The problem is, some systems are DOT and some are Mineral. Luckily mine is mineral, as DOT is Hygroscopic
Depends on the make, mine are Magura Louise and they take Royal Blood. If they are Hydraulic you will need a bleed kit also between 10 and 40 quid.
You can bleed them for about a tenner, but it depends on riding. Not knowing how old he is and what he will be riding down. With mineral oil you could get two years out of it.
When I get to a bottom of a large hill mine can be smoking. Pads are about 10 quid a pop also per set.
A good place for spares is chainreactioncycles.com they do free postage![]()
