January 17, 200620 yr We fitted magura hydraulic rim brakes to my lads 20" da bomb with a few modifications. Hydraulic brakes come with new levers.
January 17, 200620 yr im looking for some cheap hydualic brakes for my ''da bomb''. And once i have them would i need new brake levers. Yes ! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The hydraulic brakes are a all in one kit, the levers are part of the piston to the master cylinder.
January 18, 200620 yr Yeah, worked brill bob. Now sold the onza we fitted it to.... lad's got a monty now...
January 18, 200620 yr Personally, and I know many would disagree, but go for the 2004 models, not the 2005. It'll save you about 10 quid and I think the 05 levers are *****, once the TPA is usless and once it breaks the lever is useless. Whereas the 04's, you can stick a bolt in there and fix it yourself. Although if you're converting from Vee's to HS33's, you are aware that you need magura mounts on the forks? If you don't have Maggie mounts then you can buy an adapter (somewhere) that connects to the Vee mount and allows you to fit a HS33.
January 18, 200620 yr I'm after a rear Magura brake if anyone has one lying about cheap? I've spent far too much building this bike already Edited January 19, 200620 yr by Kinell
January 19, 200620 yr Yeah but all the mount is , is a circle bit to a sqaure bit for the maguras. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Eh? What I'm saying is, if he has a front V brake, running on the cicle 'stick' shaped mount, how is he doing to connect a magura which requires a 2 bolt mount?
January 19, 200620 yr God knows lol think my mate had to make one but there is a conversion kit aint there?
February 9, 200620 yr go definatly for the 2004 magura hs33's, the 2005 ones are just rubbish. the adjuster always breaks. and also when they need bleeding, bleed them in a bucket with water! this gives the lever a much better feel, although watch out when it's cold as they'll freeze, although this has not yet happened to me.
