So decided to be lazy and just pay someone to do fluid change. As I can't find my bleed syringes and can't remember if it was used for brake fluid or mineral oil.
What should I be looking at for a simple fluid change? Would it be ok just to deliver the brake set up, caliper pipe and lever for them to do the replacement.
Balfe bikes on Essex road only sell finish line, but wouldn't say what they used as I did ask do they use Shimano oil, the mechanic say all hydraulic oils are the same. First a price of £10 was mentioned for a bleed and then the started talking about a brake service at @£60.
Halfords use their own brand stuff on their work.
Do you guys know of anywhere that will use Shimano stuff?
Have found I have a bottle of febi yellow hydraulic fluid was think just sticking that in as it is mineral oil and be done.
