I recently picked up a mixed lot of older bike parts to have some parts for upcoming projects. I came upon these hydraulic rim brakes by POINT.
Neither me or any of my friends ever heard of them and I can’t find much on the internet either. While they do work surprisingly good atm I might want to bleed them as well as replace the brake pads at some point.
Does anybody have any experience with these. Are they just something else rebadged. When looking for hydro rim brakes my search results are only ever of magura HSs.
Does anyone know how to figure out what brake fluid it is?

Never seen or heard of such things. I’d assume/hope that they’re knock off Maguras, so mineral oil, unless they have that DOT fluid smell/feel. The lack of corrosion around fittings also gives me hope they’re mineral oil. Good luck.
Try to scrounge up a set of brake boosters – machined arches that attached to the brake mounts for reinforcement.
Years ago I saw a Schwinn Moab that had frame failure after someone ham fisted some magura rim brakes * hard *
I didn’t even know this was a thing
