  2. How To Bleed A Magura Disk With Water? Help Please

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    Posted

    DOT fluid is only for hope brakes. Magura discs use mineral oil.

    I bled the disc on my mod with water years ago and it was fine. At one point I even used a HS 33 lever and it still worked fine the lever just felt stiff.

    I can't remember exactly how I did it but I'm pretty sure I used a syringe and bled from the caliper up to the lever.

    Its not the best idea to use water with a disc brake but it does work. I didn't notice the water getting hot, expanding or boiling when I did it so I think you'll be alright for trials.

    Don't forget that you'll have no warranty if you do it though.

    thanks for the infomation lads, im goin for it lol.

  8. Ho Can I Make My Chris King Louder

    do NOOOT stretch the spirngs.

    the way kings work they are best in a well oiled lubricated environment so keep it that way.

    so what if its not realy loud, does it still work well?

    the longer term cost of not keeping it lubricated or stretching the springs meen things will wear out faster and C/King spares are SILLY expensive!

    thanks mate ^_^

  15. Can You Fit A Chris King To A Zoo Python 20" (if So How)

    You can convert it, 'cos i swapped hubshells +internals with Jon Mack a few months back, all we did was swap the axles and driveshells over from one hub to the other. Then again, they were iso's...

    Phone Tarty, they'll tell you the score.

    And even if you can change it, you'll probably need to re-builf the wheel 'cos it'll probably be dished wrong.

    thanks mate hope this will work lol because if it doesnt ive lost 300 pound. thanks for your help

  19. Is 18/12 A Good Gear Ratio

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    Posted

    18:12 is a 1.5:1 gear ratio.

    The smallest 5 bolt sprocket for the middleburn pro trials bash is 20t, a 14t rear sprocket will give you 1.42:1 ratio.

    The normal middleburn chainring is 22t, in which case a 15t sprocket will give you 1.46:1 ratio.

    Both of which are slightly lighter than 18:12 gearing :)

    what would you get,

    because i have only just started trials n dont know what to get.

    thanks
