So I know it isn't good to put water in your brakes but is there a big difference if I still had some brake fluid in the brakes and what damage can I do to my brakes? pls help.
So instead of buying mineral oil from the grocery store, brake fluid from the auto parts store, or OEM Shimano fluid from a LBS, you decided to put water in it, why?
