Search results for query: Installing Magura brakes

Who's There, Also a mechanic myself. I was a heavy equipment mechanic for Caterpillar, but I am now retired. You are correct, in many environments, performing an annual flush on a DOT 5.1 mountain bike brake system is sufficient. There are many places across Europe, or let's say the the Pacific...

Luckily I've yet to damage a master cylinder or caliper. Only bent two levers over the years, and I have the replacement process down to a couple minute job because I also swap out the levers for the HCW levers. I do have a set of the Oak levers that I haven't yet installed (I'm too lazy to...

From what I read, it seems like Magura are working on a different lever for the Gustavs that will allow them to be run closer to the bars. I think they offer the same for their other brakes, too. I just installed mine, but they're dragging on full wheel rotation, annoyingly. I think I probably...

Which diameter and thickness rotors do you have front and rear on your Pivot Shuttle AM?

I've given up on the Magura's after years and years of persevering. When they work, they're brilliant... but I've found myself having too many rides ruined by them this year. I've had several rides where the lever feels pretty solid in the garage, and the same on a few laps round the block...

Yeah I was aware of the graphene pads, not sure if its gimmick or not and I cant seem to find any real in depth reviews of them online. Been doing some more research and come across the Shimano MT905 discs, can get them online for £51, seems they are a decent step up from the RT86's so thinking...

Hmmm 🤔, never heard or tried graphene type pads before. Interesting. I use Magura brake systems and there are 3 types of pads available in the OEM. Race, Preformance and Sport. (Metallic, mixture, and resin …respectively). I’ve always used the Preformance but, just recently, I installed the...

When I first put the Gustavs on the bike had Magura 220mm MDR floating disks and they didn’t rub or make noise. Then I put on a thick set of Intend non floating disks and they have been a pain to setup since. Maybe I should go back to the MDR’s. Cannot fault the power and consistent feel of the...

Ok, so as the SRAM Shiftmix adapters were finally available, I pulled the trigger on set of Gustavs this week. To be sure to have a good comparison to my outgoing SRAM Code RSC, I did a last ride with them on Monday, installed the Gustav on Tuesday and did two test rides with the Gustav on...

Lol, I just installed a set of Intend Trinities on my ebike (the Gustavs are actually on my analogue bike). At the moment I'm having rubbing issues with the Trinities as well! I have 2.3mm TRP rotors on that bike. Thought I got them not rubbing, then rode at FOD last weekend, and when I got the...

Update; I broke the lever on the MT8 and decided to upgrade the lever (price was right) on the MT7’s. I also rebuilt one of the master cylinders in the MT7. I ordered a couple of new plungers and seals when the MT7’s started to fail. Was fairly easy to install and a significant difference in...

Good to hear. Out of interest, how did you align them in the end? By eye? I find that the old "squeeze the lever hard and then do the bolts up" never seems to work for me.

Before the holidays, installed a new specialized remote (the old one + button broke), a 50mm rise Renthal fatbar, replaced the magura rotors with shimano ones (so much better braking force control),new casette, new front chain ring, and chain. After a year of ownership, I reached 7000 km...

My wife and I both had the regular Moro (the yellow ones) and put over 1200 miles on them before handing them down to out children. They were our first ebike and we really loved them. We just had the usual problems. I struggled keeping the motor mounts tight until I just red locktited them...

Hence way I said has anyone done it Im considering replacing my Code RSC's with either Hope or Magura

I had the 2020 Powerfly hardtail with the Bosch Gen4 CX motor. I’ve since replaced that bike with the Fuel EXE 8. My son now has the Powerfly HT with a few upgrades (derailer, Hub, and Magura 8 brakes). I also use magnetic peddles, Magped’s but since installed Avery Hustle magnetic peddles on...

The first time I installed MT7’s I tried feeding the new hose with the red barbed joining tool through the motor compartment without removing the motor …that failed. Had to drop the motor and I was glad I did. The rats-nest of wires and hoses looked like a 5 year old had originally assembled...

There’s some good tips in here Search results for query: Installing Magura brakes from some of the members. Or search. I would drop the motor to avoid any pinching, kinking or looping. The small red barb tool is helpful. A gentle push-pull method can be used if all the hose clamping points...

Ah! You replaced the front tire and removed the white Maxxis. 😎

That’s my one main issue with the One77 TM, the brakes. They are Magura MT7 and despite 250km on them the front clicks when pressed and the rear groans super loud and shudders the bike soon as they get warm. Locking up the back wheel is basically the only way to keep them quiet! Shop says they...
