Brake fluid/Mineral oil question .....

cubby@cartorque

Hi, just wondering how often the mineral oil in my hydraulic brake system should be changed ? I have Shimano M575 brakes on my 2009 Genesis Core 20 and the brakes just don't seem as keen as the yused too .... but the pads are fine after just de glazing them

Thanks for any help

Manufacturers usually suggest once a year.

I bought a kit off ebay for about £6 (maybe £8 including postage) that made it really easy to bleed Shimano brakes:

Shimano M575 brakes are special (read as retarded) and you'll need one of these to successfully bleed them.
