t33zr Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Ok, the fu**ing plastic bleedbolt on my magura hs33 just got broken. Brake was abit sloppy, so i decided to get a quick bleed but the plastic bolt was stuck as hell. the head went of but i managed to loose it with a screwdriver. I am still able to get it in and out, so the brake is fine for now, but next bleed im afraid i have a problem. I cant find this bolt in tartybikes brake spare range. I cant even find a picture of this bolt online. What to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 They're horrible, really bad choice to make it from plastic! The T25 torx cammed out of mine and chewed up the head, managed to bodge a T27 in there and that seems to work, as long as you put ZERO torque onto it you should get away with it.

FamilyBiker Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 one thing the folks at magenwirth company in bad urach can take into account when designing their next brake is "go back to 2009 and then never change a running system" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Apart from all the people complaining about how they don't like the '05 style levers, and that they should go back to the '04 ones... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Apart from all the people complaining about how they don't like the '05 style levers, and that they should go back to the '04 ones... Or the ones using Tocco or Racing Line levers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 i never had a single problem with any of my 05 levers,no cracking nor leaking,actually i made mine leak recently by cutting the critical edge everyone kept telling me about off and polishing the lever body lol. no idea how,theres no visible scratch or something. that aside i am sure my new 05 lever will perform the same,best design imo. a lot of people seem to love their 04,but theyre not for me,i just dont like the shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t33zr Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Got answer from tartybikes: We've been trying to get these but our importer doesn't have them, sorry Cheers,Adam So all i have to say: F.U. magura! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 JJ Leigh if anyone's 2014 maggie lever blade snapped, go to www.maguraspares.com ,and email a request for a "2014 hs33 radial lever blade" and add either 2 finger or a 4 finger model. now we can finally get replacements! There was this guy`s status update, it might worth a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Got answer from tartybikes: So all i have to say: F.U. magura! Although Magura have a tendency to f**k things up, in this instance it seems like it's just a case of Zyro (UK importers) being absolutely useless as usual. Getting them to stock Magura spares was an absolute nightmare when they first took over the importership, so it's not too surprising they don't want to carry something like that bolt too. They don't really seem to have a clue about anything to do with Magura brakes whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Think we've managed to get some... should be in stock soon. For info, the O ring does the sealing, so you could screw this part in by hand and the brake would still seal. Manual says 0.5Nm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disturbing the peace Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Hi, new here. I've fixed this stupid problem by drilling out the shite fine thread, press fitted brass inserts specific for plastic and also added araldite glue to the barbs before pressing so nothing can seep out, use copper washers with new bolts like a motorbike and, your good to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Nice solution! Do you have a link to the parts used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disturbing the peace Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Hi, I used these brass inserts off eBay item no: 192514339545 Also Araldite I already had at home to seal it, wouldn't go any bigger than the M5 size, not much plastic left around the edge plus hope bleed kits fit this size :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
