Brake Fluid Tester 54T1 Brake Maintenance

Before your brake lever reaches for nothing, you should regularly check the brake fluid in your hydraulic brakes and replace it if necessary. The brake fluid tester from IceToolz makes it easy to check the water content in the brake fluid. Even though mineral oil attracts less moisture than DOT, water will accumulate in the brake hose over time due to its hygroscopic properties. This not only leads to corrosion. Much worse: The brake fluid in the brake calliper can boil due to the high friction temperature when the brake is heavily loaded. This causes air bubbles to form which cannot be sufficiently compressed. The braking effect is reduced or does not materialise at all ...

Details:
• Tester for DOT brake fluid and mineral oil
• Measurement of the electrical resistance in the expansion reservoir on the brake lever
• Quick determination of the water content in the brake fluid
• For evaluating the oil quality as a recommendation to replace
• Coloured LED indicator of water content (wet boiling point)
- Green = OK: no water in the brake fluid
- Yellow = OK: < 1 % / < 2 % contains little water
- Red = not OK: < 3 % / > 4 %, contains too much water, replacement recommended
• Visual battery charge status display
• With clip for pocket attachment

Technical details:
• Power supply: 1 x LR03/AAA micro battery (not included)
• Material: plastic, metal
• Dimensions: approx. Ø 20 x 230 mm
• Weight: approx. 60 g

In the box:
• 1 IceToolz 54T1 brake fluid tester


Note:
In addition to bleeding when necessary, the brake fluid in the hydraulic brake system should be changed at least every 2 to 3 years for safety reasons. See manufacturer’s instructions.
The discolouration of the mineral oil or the water content can provide information here. Important! When changing, only use brake fluids recommended and approved by the brake manufacturer.
