  1. Have had this too. Take the lever off, take the hose off and undo the bleed screw. Get an airline and blow the piston out, it will pop out with the spring. give the piston a VERY light sand (with some wet n dry). Cut 1 coil off the spring and stretch it (makes the spring stronger) put it all back together with some copper grease. Pretty easy to do. Been perfect ever since!

  2. Hello, I thought I split my cross over a couple of days ago but it appered to be the piston leaking where the barb goes in. Now it just won't stop leaking. I've used Ptf tape and that doesn't seem to help. I've now gone to a monty splitter and it leaks everywhere from each end of the spliter and still the pistons.

    Would I be best just getting new pistons and a crossover? Or is they a way of fixing it?

    You should replace the cross over hose with a new one and fit new barbs. Throughly clean the piston housings and threads with some brake cleaner. As mentioned before, use some brass washers and fit with some BLUE Loctitie. Dont use red as it will strip the threads if you want to take them off again. Make sure though everything is clean.

    See how that goes!!

  3. The hoses on maguras are not the best! Whats annoying is re-fitting the barbs into the hose without it splitting. Had loads of problems with the rear brake on mine, mainly within the lever though. Had it apart many times!! :S

    Some people on here have used thicker tubing, like from air compressors....... Might be an idea?

  4. Hi how's everyone!? I got back into trials 2 months ago after a 6 year absence! I used to ride all the time with me mates, do comps, but lost interest when I turned 17 got a car, gf.............

    Recently got a Koxx Coustellier as a few of us got back into it. Cant beleive how much the bikes have changed and the level of riding now!!

    Anyway, anyone from the Cheshire or local areas want to go riding sometime, PM me.
