Comment on Can we make bicycles sustainable again?parentComments−ggm3yThey're Tektro. That "in practice its somewhat fiddly" bit sounds like where I am.I'll go canvas my options with some other stores. Who knows? Maybe I'm being sold a line of guff here?(and its a Merida 200 not a Movida. I was having a bad hair day)−midoridensha3yI have Tektro on one bike. They work fine, but maintenance on them is more of a pain than Shimano. I'm probably going to swap them out for Shimano later, because the Shimano brakes on my road bike are so much easier to work with.−PascLeRasc3yYour brakes use mineral oil, and you can use any kind of mineral oil you want in there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63VIuPiX3CA
