HI! I'm just getting back into MTB'n after a 15 year hiatus. I picked up a new PL (non Pro). I need to adjust the rear brake controller and the shifting pod separately. What would I need to install to be able to adjust these two components separately on the handlebars? Also, what is a good...

Lovely looking bike,what is it that you don't like about the Magura brakes ?

Someone has Magura brakes installed? Everything ok?

I’m not familiar with the Magura Gustov or the Maven. Those may be overkill for my weight. I haven’t had much success with Shimano brake systems. (Breakage and failure). Probably just me. Seen bad reviews for the Lewis Brake system any my son-in-law regrets installing them. The MT7’s fit the...

Was in a similar shoe as you but decided to keep my MT7 brakes as is for my Pro model. Love MT7 brakes (Good stopping power, great modulation and love the lever shape) with exception of squeal/squeak which I can't seem to get rid of. Even after changing pads to Galfer Purple and new rotors...

I don't have any new parts for my bike this week - I bought a new bike instead😎😬 Raymon Tarok Ultra It comes standard with carbon wheels instead of the DT Swiss H1900 shown here, and I'm having the dealer install Sram Maven Silver brakes instead of those awful Magura Gustav brakes. It's...

It seems to be the nature of MT7 brakes. Great feel and modulation, but more frequent lever bleeds. It can be frustrating if you prefer a low maintenance brake system. I exchanged a Shimano brake system for a MT7 brake system once. The guy had enough of the regular bleeding needed. I didn’t...

What I’ve done in the past is refer to the calliper spacer manufacturer for sizing or model #. They sometimes have a chart or reference page that can be helpful. I installed Magura MT8’s on my Fuel EXE 8 because I didn’t like the DB8 brakes that came with it. I was fortunate enough to have...

Very cool! Interesting that they’re using the 700Wh battery.

Yeah I was concerned with brake hose size. I saw there are some amflows with the Hayes installed though. My bike was shipped without the battery so I already have experience dropping motor and battery. It’s really not too bad. But yeah I didn’t check out the cable routing so not sure how tough...

Hi Sam. Did you install this new brake system? (Master, Calliper, Hoses). I’m not familiar with this specific model but I have installed a few Magura brake systems. (MT7, Mt8). I once found a pinched, and or, kinked hydraulic hose which prevented the calliper to operate properly. (Motor...

Sorry for the late reply mate. Been on business travel. I did it for a few reasons. Mainly because I'm running full SRAM AXS Drivetrain and Dropper and was switching the stock brakes to a Shirgura set-up (Magura MT7 calipers/MDR-P Rotors, Shimano Saint Brake Levers with Oak Components Levers)...

...Rail Gen5 that the rear brake host does not pass through the motor compartment. Which is better imo. The brake line is 5-8” exposed around the bottom bracket area. It doesn’t look like the motor needs to be dropped …but I’m gonna find out soon. (Installing Magura brakes on a gen5 this week...

Life long master certified Auto mechanic, when automotive brakes are serviced we always opened the bleeder valve at the caliper before retracting pistons, for two fold reasons, one, you are pumping all the crap in to lines and calipers back into the master which can make it fail right after...

Didn’t know that about the brake hoses. I actually have a set of 10 year old Tektro brakes on my road bike that I’ve never touched, doesn’t get anything like mtb usage but they have never varied since the very first stop, definitely considering TRP DH also. I have to fight myself from putting...

I just looked and I can’t see any stamped part number on my levers. But I don’t know whether I have regular or stealth levers. ? I recently removed this brake systems from my Fuel EXE and installed them on a hardtail Powerfly. The MT8’s were then installed on my Fuel EXE. Front brakes were...

Has anyone successfully installed different brake set for your Amflow? Was wondering how hard it was to install the brake set. Especially the rear one. Did you have to pull the motor or battery? If not, how difficult was it to run brake hose from the front to rear. Based on research, looks...

I used the Park Tool when pulling the old hose. Unfortunately, pulling the new one through was not as easy. It got caught on an internal zip tie at the base of the motor. The motor had to be pulled which was "much" easier than expected. Remove bottom cover and two bolts. The cranks do not need...

The rebuilding is basically an alloy piston and 3 rubber seals. The rebuild kit is available on Amazon for $6-$12. I usually keep a spare. Usually a full bleed is necessary after installing. A lever bleed may not be enough. Clean your calliper pistons and rotate your callipers, especially...

I have a set of MT4 Magura on a fatbike, I might try all the masters one at a time on the MT5, surly I haven’t blown them all out. If any of them restores the stopping it might be worthwhile to rebuild the MT5 masters. Temptation is still to experience Shigura setup though. Stock lever shape...
