LTWOO 50ml Mineral Oil alternative for eRX help
« on: November 12, 2024, 12:11:57 PM »
Hi all. Looking for an alternative to this product.

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806128370408.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.2d2838daXj53fr&mp=1&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

Trying to save a few dollars with a product that has Choice shipping and perhaps includes the bleed kit like this:

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806985053565.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.3b1971be4ZEqpC&algo_pvid=9685b210-7d6f-4813-9afc-54815fd4c095&algo_exp_id=9685b210-7d6f-4813-9afc-54815fd4c095-0&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21USD%2110.80%214.54%21%21%2177.72%2132.64%21%402103201917314349096142993ed649%2112000039693288850%21sea%21US%211638821745%21X&curPageLogUid=PZ3hTD3mwPlO&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A

Would that be a suitable alternative? I'm not knowledgeable about the different kinds of brake fluids to know what after-market products I can use with the eRX system. Thanks for any help offered!

Those 2 you posted are already very cheap. I would use Shimano oil to be honest with you, wouldn't want to mess around with my braking. But I'm sure mineral oil is mineral oil.

Anything that's NOT Sram DOT oil will work. Basically it's either mineral oil / shimano & everybody else vs Sram DOT.
SRAM has to do everything differently, usually worse. Smaller chainrings are dumb. 10T cog is dumb. Hookless is dumb. flat top chains are dumb. 1x because you can't make a FD that works is dumb. And so on.
Fast on the flat. And nowhere else.

Typical Serge rant. Not wrong though  ;D
Slow on the climb. And everywhere else.

I'm using LHM Plus oil meant for Citroen bought from the closest moto market. Much cheaper than any of that.
