JonMack Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Yeah it's normal. Just keep the lever in there and it will be fine.If you need to bleed the brake, read this http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/wiki/Bleeding_Magura_brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z o o !! Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 The plunger is a bit more reason for concern. Officially you can't really put pistons back into the lever when they pop out as you've got a fair chance that the seal lip flips inside out or gets damaged and you've got a leak. If that's the case, the only thing you can do really is replace the complete master assembly.Errr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duck Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 With denguras they all pop out when the lever is removed. Just wack it back in and bleed it and you'll be fine. If its a magura lever body however, you may have issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo =) Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 when i broke my siringe i bled it by taking the thingy out the body and it works as normal alot of people around our area do it, simpson started it off and it works well... which is quite worrying as simpson's idea's dont usually work. at all.

deanie-b Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) Lol, Sorry ? haa,Would magura them selves be able to do anything about it ? is it a manurfacturing default thingymabob.Firstly : of course not? You took it apart yourself, meaning a qualified cycle mechanic hasn't done it?Secondly : there's no need, they just go in! "Man-up" is spot on, they tap back in with care and patience.Edit: and you're using water Edited July 25, 2008 by deanie-b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley-Wood Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Cheers for advice people! water still comes out but ill just ride and take my bleed kit with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
