Brake fluid

Brake fluid - the basis of hydraulic brakes Brake fluid is an essential part of hydraulic braking systems, as it transmits power from the brake lever to the brake calipers. The right type of brake fluid in good condition ensures reliable and efficient brake operation in all conditions. Brake fluid types. They are resistant to high temperatures but are hygroscopic, which means that they absorb water over time. This requires regular replacement. Mineral oils: used in systems such as Shimano and Magura. They do not absorb water, making them less susceptible to long-term deterioration. Compatibility with the braking system is important to consider. Important for maintenance: brake fluid should be changed regularly, especially during intensive use or if the brakes feel soft. Always use the type of fluid recommended by the manufacturer of your braking system, as different fluids must not be mixed. Care must be taken when changing brake fluid, as it can be corrosive (DOT) or smear surfaces. The right brake fluid and regular maintenance will ensure reliable operation of hydraulic brakes, making cycling safe and comfortable.
