Hi all

Thanks

Hi Sonu.

I think both ScoobySport and TSL recommend the Silkolene Pro Race fluid. It's only DOT 4.1 but it's meant to be better than your average DOT 5 stuff. I've had braided hoses and the Pro Race done at TSL on Tuesday. It's certainly firmed up the middle pedal no end - much better feel to it, even with new pads and discs fitted.

Yep, had Goodridge hoses and Silkolene Pro Race done at TSL, agree with Chris's comments.
