So I'm curious about the whole "use only Magura blood" thing. I've had my MT5s for 3 seasons now. I had a fresh jug of Shimano mineral oil when I first set up and installed my brakes. So I figured I'd use that up before getting Magura's fluid (thank you very much internal rear brake routing...) . I've gone 2 whole seasons without a bleed, and they are still solid. Am I missing something here? Am I putting myself at risk of catastrophic failure or something?
