Brake Bleeds

SRAM/DOT Fluid: 6-12 months under normal riding conditions

Shimano/Mineral Oil: 1-2 years under normal riding conditions

Our take: unless your brakes experience frequent temperature changes while braking, bleed DOT brakes every 12 months and Mineral Oil brakes every 18 months.

It's important to note that riding conditions can vary, and factors such as more aggressive riding, frequent exposure to wet or muddy conditions, or heavy braking may require more frequent bleeding.
To ensure the optimal performance and safety of your hydraulic brakes, it's advisable to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and regularly inspect your brakes for any signs of performance degradation or issues.

Stan’s: 2-6 months
“The sealant should last an average of 2-6 months depending on factors such as: temperatures and humidity in your area, how often you ride, where you store your bike (cooler is better), tire casing thickness, number of punctures the sealant has already sealed that you never knew you had, etc.”

Orange Seal: 1-3 months
“Depending on temps and humidity, ride time and geography, you should get one to three months for tubeless set ups, and up to six months in a tube
