Magura brake leaking, needs new tube i think?
 

Help Help!



Well my Back....I mean my magura is leaking pretty badly, and i think i
need some new tubing for it, it pretty much broken off at one of the
connecters. And i belive this is called the "crossover" tube, not the
long one. It came..i mean i have a bleed kit, and it has some tubes,
but i dont know if those tubes are ment as replacments or not. Help!
Where can i get tubing? I heard jess just got some tubing at a local
store, but i remember reading he had to heat it or something to get it
to shrink over the connecter? What do i do?!?!

The Magura tech manuals are available for download at the 'Magura web
page in the service section'
(http://www.magura.com/7thsenseCMS/index.php?id=49&L=1). Here's a link
to the 2006 manual (in PDF): '2006 rim brake workshop manual'
(http://tinyurl.com/jesll)

If your brake has the type of fitting that uses the little olive (a
little compression ring that fits around the tube, see the workshop
manual to see what it is) you'll need to get replacement olives cause
they can't be reused. A bike shop may have them is stock if you're
lucky, otherwise they can order them and get them pretty quick. They
can also get additional plastic hose if necessary.

The workshop manual explains how to fit the new hose on the fittings
and get the brake all functioning again.

The 'Magura Cult'
(http://www.execulink.com/~dtierney/w...a/contents.htm) page is
another good source of info.

It is supposed to mean that it is his rear brake on the trials bike he
just got.

That happened to the brake on my bike, when you fall or lean the bike on
it's side depending on pedal position, the crossover line is the first
thing to hit the ground. you can stop this by using a booster. but do
yourself a favor, get v adapters and avid ultimates instead.

I pulled a sick trey varial hickflip over an 8 set yesterday, but
unfortunately it was supposed to be seat in to seat out. I've named it
the dioflip

Heh, Yeah, Right now i have the single bolt addapters on my maggies,
and my frame has V-brake mounts. So today im getting some V's, Can you
reccomend a good kind? Avid ultimates i guess? I hear that its not so
much the liner pull brake that affects preformance, but the pads. Koxx
bloxx?
