Hi Lee, I have had the Magura MT7’s for about 3 years. I had them on my old bike and then moved them onto my new bike and they have seen a lot of use. I love them and I won’t be buying any other brakes. Once these wear out beyond repair I’ll just buy another set of MT7’s because they’re that...

Last week I had a crash and snapped off my whole brakelever from my back brake Have magura mt4 brakes. Got a new one with 2 finger lever, changed to a 1 finger lever. installed it and did a full bleed with the caliper loose from the frame, also got new brake rotors and brakepads. Went for a...

Here’s another conundrum; Four of us each have a 2020 Rail (2-Rail 9.7 and 2-Rail 7). We all have Magura Mt7’s with 220mm rotors f/r and use Magura “performance” pads. We all ride the same mountain (Burke Mountian) but on slightly different trails. Elevations are very similar to each other but...

Nice, man after my own heart. This is my 2020 Comp. Everything red is an upgrade along XX1 AXS Drivetrain & Reverb AXS Dropper. Even the Lyryk Forks have had Vorsprung Smashpot spring installed & Vorsprung Tractive Valve tuning kit on the rear shock. Changed wheels to DT Swiss H19 & mulleted...

The nest thing I did is I routed the Magura MT5t brake hose through the left side of the swingarm. Attached the brake lever to the handlebar so the hose goes up Clipped the brake hose off at the brake lever Plugged the hose with the plug supplied with the Magura brake kit Clipped...

I was surprised too. But I installed them two times and in both cases I experienced the same. I followed the steps: installation, first bleeding, tuning ok. Then after a while (several weeks) bleeding needed again. But now you made me thinking a bit.... I am now suspecting that the reason of...

Guys, adjusting my SRAM derailleur on my Turbo Levo took me a while. I struggled with gears shifting even though all the screws were correctly set. Also, the derailleur hanger was straight. As I had no clue where the issue was, I also measured the chain length, but the factory adjusted it. From...

Some functional tweaks, some blingy tweaks. - Not a dropper guy, so swapped out for conventional seatpost & preferred saddle. - Hated the combo mounts for the AXS shifter and Magura brake levers, so installed separate perches/mounts for each - Chopped the bar width slightly (I like all my MTBs...

This is really an updated version. Magura MT5 is the golden standard for MTB-brakes. Even though MT7 exists, majority still uses MT5, because it's reliable and cheaper :) P N W, Fizik, ProTaper, Magura and Shimano are all very well-known brands in MTB. For the main components like fork and...

Hi all, I'd like some advice on what adapters to get so I can install Code RSC (used takeoffs) brakes and Magura MDR-P 220mm discs on to my 2019 Turbo Levo FSR. The bike has what I assume are the factory (bought bike new as a demo) SRAM Level-T levers, and I don't know calipers, and 203mm...

I'm sorry for your pain, but this is an example of why I cringe when somebody writes that they don't want to tackle maintenance/repairs themselves. "Better to have a professional take care of it." In my 50 years of amateur mechanicing, I've seen countless examples like this one. My favorite...

Afraid I can't help you in your rotor question, but was wondering why you changed the brakes? The E2 came with SLX 4 pots which tbh are amazing stoppers - what does the E1 come with? Good luck and I'm sure someone on here will be able to help.

If I understand you correctly you are also replacing the rear brake line/hose,(which is what I did). Do not cross/overlap the cables/hoses in the battery compartment. Keep it neat and tidy. I removed the upper battery alignment bracket but only loosened the lower alignment bracket security...

Yep !! I know it sounds odd and bizzarre, but this is an idea I've been having in my mind for a lot. Just a brief summary. At the moment of the purchase, I asked the seller to mount on my Level a Tech3 E4 braking system in the place of the stock Sram Code unit (never found a good feeling with...

Magura brakes can be difficult to bleed. After the initial install and bleed the brake action may seem fine. Go for the first ride and they fail. I’ve installed several sets of MT7’s and have noticed that a mini-bleed is necessary after a short ride. Likely the shaking motion has dislodged...

The importance of brake pads and rotors can’t be overstated and posters have made very good suggestions for maintenance or repairs. After the many possible scenarios of brake issues that I have come across, the pinched hydraulic line was the most difficult to find. A kinked or bent hydraulic...

BR-MT520s are the same calipers as the BR-M6120. Money saved IMO should go towards pads, the MTX gold pads work for me, and won’t make one go nuts with the screeching like Shimano Sintered Pads. Installation is pretty much plug and play as well (albeit, you'll have to perform a bleed) as it...

I'd like to upgrade the rear rotor to 203 as well but don't know how with the magnet sensor. Would you mind elaborate how you did it? Which brake magnet to buy and how to install it on the new rotor? TIA

I bled my MT7s when I installed them in 2020. The levers are still very firm, so I see no need to bleed them again. I honestly don't understand why some guys have trouble bleeding Maguras. The instruction video is easy to follow.

I've got the same setup. Assuming that you've got a 180mm brake mount fork, will depend on the how you run the rotors: 180 fork and 220 mm rotors will mean that you need a +40mm adapter front and rear. I couldn't find any of these in Australia at the time and didnt want to wait to ride so I...
