Oh no, the DREADED SBF Thread!!!!
Oh what the heck.
I found DOT5 Silicon to work great in my TR4A but it gives a bit too mushy
pedal in the Spit.
I think maybe it's because the TR is a single circuit system, and the Spit
is tandem.
The TR gets its brake system completely beld before every season. Think I'll
do it soon this year. :>)
The spit's been off the road for years and still has a great pedal on DOT4.
Go figure.

I just converted this winter to DOT5 (silicon) for the same reason as you
are. I find the pedal just a tad mushy, but not a problem.
