| There is an element of confusion setting in I think??
Generally Dot 5 is a "race specific" fluid that is intended to be replaced regularly and because of the silicon base(?) it is indeed incompatible with the majority of seal materials used on road bikes, not just Brembo.
The "Dot 5" that we see a lot of is in fact graded as Dot 5.1
This is a better performing fluid than Dot 4 but remains compatible with the majority of seal materials used in our brake systems. It will still remove your paint though!! |
