Bleed Kits for Others
Frequently asked questions
Which brake brands do the 'for others' bleed kits cover?
This group covers mineral-oil systems outside the main Shimano and SRAM ranges — Magura (Royal Blood), Tektro/TRP, and Formula Cura — plus a master kit for mixed mineral-oil fleets. Each kit carries the correct funnel or syringe fitting for that brand's caliper and lever.
Do Magura, TRP/Tektro, and Formula brakes use mineral oil or DOT?
All three use mineral oil. Magura runs Royal Blood mineral oil, Tektro and TRP use mineral oil, and Formula Cura is a mineral-oil system. Use a mineral-oil kit and fluid for these brakes; never substitute DOT fluid, which will destroy the seals.
Is there one kit that bleeds multiple mineral-oil brake brands?
Yes. The Workshop Gold Mineral Oil Master Bleed Kit is built for shops servicing several mineral-oil systems, with the funnels and fittings to cover Shimano, Magura, Tektro/TRP, and Formula. It is the efficient choice when you bleed many brake brands rather than one.
What fluid does the Formula Cura bleed kit use?
Formula Cura is a mineral-oil brake, so the Cura kit bleeds with mineral oil — not DOT. Use a Formula-compatible mineral oil and keep the syringes separate from any DOT tooling so the two fluids never mix.
Can I buy mineral oil separately for these brakes?
Yes. BleedKit.com GOLD and RED mineral oil and generic mineral brake fluid are available on their own for top-ups on Magura, Tektro/TRP, Formula, and other mineral-oil systems. Confirm the fluid your brake specifies — some brands require their own branded oil to keep the warranty valid.
