Levo Gen 3 Brake caliper adaptor - Magura on sworks

[cuaion]

Hi, a have a 2022 expert coming soon, and I have a set of mt7 witch I will put on it.
But I need a but of help to get the correct adaptors.

For the frame is it 180->203mm adaptors, or some thing else?

 

[RebornRider]

MT7 refers to the caliper and the lever, but not to the disk. A 200/203mm disk will need a different adapter than the 220mm disk.

I have 220mm rotors and QM-45 adapters.

I believe you'll need a Magura QM44 adapter (180-203) on the rear for 203mm rotors.

As @RebornRider says, you'll need a different adapter for 220mm rotors.

I use a QM45 on the front (180-220 and Fox 36) and QM44 on the rear (180-203 Levo frame).

Thanks! We will see if the qm44 is correct. Hope the frame is a 180 rear then

You never know until you try!

Yes, it’ 180 rear, so you need +23 adapter to mount 203mm disk

Great, have already ordered, but nice to know it's correct

Is it possible to install 220mm rotor on the rear of my levo and which is the required adaptor?

 

[zorro77]

I have 220mm rotors and QM-45 adapters.

Ok for the front, but QM-45 also to fit 220 rear?

 

[RebornRider]

Yes I used QM-45 adapters and 220 mm rotors front and rear. Simple bolt-on with no clearance issues on my alloy rear triangle.

Today I installed a Magura MDR-P 220 rotor and new pads to my SLX 4 piston caliper/Lyrik fork/Levo 2020 alloy. Used a QM 45 adaptor
I have had difficulties trying to align. No too much tolerance. It seem that at times the pads touch the rotor and it transmits a vibration to the handle bars and loud noise. After riding and readusting it is better. Hopefully pads will wear a bit.

I will change the rear also.

There is more stopping power.

 

[RebornRider]

Are you sure that the pistons were *fully* retracted when you installed the new pads and rotors?

 

[Choc3]

Yes fully retracted. I Will need to play around to find the best alignment.

 

[hainman]

Did you find a solution to the brake issue
Magura are usually 2mm rotors
Shimano are 1.8mm

 

[Choc3]

Yes it is a tight fit and needs fine tuning and alignment when installing new pads. Breaking is very good and will not go back to 200mm.
