Rail 9.8 Purple Phase + Magura Raceline Yellow MT7's

[rsutton1223]

Upgraded my SLX brakes to the Magura MT7's in raceline yellow. I have wanted a set of Magura raceline yellow brakes since they first released their hydraulic rim brakes back in the day. I thought they would be too much for the purple phase but I didn't care. I just had to have a set. It actually turned out better than I thought it would. The SLX's went on my 9 year old son's Rocky Mountain Reaper so he got a great upgrade as well out of this.

I was refering to how the maguras look like a couple of owl eyes sitting on the rotors

How is the install with the Maguras? I have set arriving this week. How tough was it running cables?

It’s pretty straight forward. I did drop the motor a little bit and held it up zip tied to the frame for that part of the routing. Other than that...no different than any other internally routed frame.

Why not 220mm in the front ?

Do your MDR-P Rotors have any play in them....mine seem to have a bit of play back and forth at the rivets, and even knock a bit under braking
