    Forgive me but I have never asked this question in 23 years of biking. But what do reservoir socks actually do?

    They are designed to catch brake fluid spillages should the reservoir become cracked or damaged ...... Originally used for racing but now a must have accessorie ;)

    :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    The scientific reason is that they prevent light degradation of the brake fluid.

    Well there ain't going to be much degredation of brake fluid over the course of a race weekend so my theory is most plausible!;)

    These are the best reservoir (dogs) socks I could find. Not sure how you could make them fit though.
